• Respect the personal boundaries and dignity of others.
• Refrain from harassment, bullying, discriminatory comments or conduct, sexual harassment, threats, or any unwelcome behaviour (verbal, physical, or written).
• Avoid inappropriate physical contact or unwelcome attention.
• Refrain from violent behaviour, intoxication, or disruptive conduct, including disturbing rehearsals or performances.
• Not bring prohibited items into our venues, including alcohol, illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, or weapons of any kind.
• Not smoke or vape inside performance or rehearsal spaces.

If you experience or witness harassment, discrimination, or a violation of this Code, please report it promptly to the nearest staff member or designated contact. All reports will be taken seriously, addressed in a timely manner, and kept as confidential as possible. London Symphonia prohibits any form of reprisal against individuals who, in good faith, raise a concern or participate in an investigation.
