Doing the Right Thing
The YourCrew Code of Conduct
Revised November 2024
Who likes rules? Not us. But given YourCrew works with young people, some of whom may feel quite vulnerable, we need to be rock-solid when it comes to trust. The YourCrew app is considered a safe place and that’s why we ask all members to treat everyone else in the YourCrew community with respect, kindness and compassion.
Here’s all we ask of you:
- Be honest and show integrity in all interactions.
- Show care and diligence in all communications and actions.
- Treat everyone how you’d like to be treated – Harassment, bullying, or intimidating behaviour will not be tolerated.
- Respect and comply with all applicable Australian laws including those related to privacy and the protection of young people.
- Keep communications confidential as outlined in our Oath (see here) – except when disclosure is necessary in an emergency or to comply with the law.
- Try to respond to communications and messages quickly (ASAP if it’s urgent)
- Use all our resources for their proper purpose.
- Provide honest and constructive feedback. Whether good or bad, we genuinely value it.
What we absolutely will not tolerate:
- Any content or actions that are illegal, harmful, or offensive, including those inciting, advocating, or depicting pornography, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity, hatred, bigotry, racism, or gratuitous violence or other prohibited or harmful content that doesn’t reflect HRF values. We adhere to the eSafety Commissioner standards, especially those regarding the online safety of young people.
- Sharing or linking to external sites that violate this Code of Conduct.
- Any form of abuse, threats, stalking, defamation, deception, or discrimination. This includes targeting individuals or groups based on age, gender, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, race, or any other characteristic. Just be kind and inclusive.
- Sending unsolicited commercial communications, including ‘junk mail,’ ‘spam,’ chain letters, pyramid schemes, or affiliate marketing. These are annoying and, in some cases, unlawful.
