CCTC reminds our members, participants, and stakeholders that all members of our community are entitled to an environment free from harassment. CCTC is committed to creating a scholarly environment that reflects our foundational values of mutual respect and recognises the importance of this respect as a necessary condition for knowledge creation in a diverse community.
All members of the CCTC community are expected to abide by the CCT harassment policy (adopted November 16, 2018 - see cctweb.org).
If a member of the CCTC community experiences harassment or similar forms of mistreatment, please contact the on-site CCTC Ombuds-Team for confidential assistance at: cctombuds@gmail.com.
The CCT Ombuds-Team is an informal, nonjudgmental, and confidential "friendly ear" that can listen, help people decide what they would like to do, and help them locate resources that enable their healing and restoration. It serves exclusively as an on-site first-stop for attendees at CCT events. Accordingly, the team does not keep records, make reports to the governing body, or make disclosures on behalf of persons who may have experienced harassment or similar forms of mistreatment.
In addition to serving as a resource to assist individuals attending the conference, the ombuds-team—without breaching the confidentiality of any communications by people using the services—will provide CCTC with feedback on the nature of issues raised at the conference and any insights or observations about systemic issues relating to the conference or CCTC.
To ensure a safe space at our conference and other events, CCT does not accept registrations from individuals who have been found guilty of workplace harassment.
CCTC may take any action to address those who violate our principles. Penalties may include verbal warning, ejection from the meeting without refund or other measures CCTC deems appropriate. Retaliation for complaints of inappropriate conduct will not be tolerated. Notifying the CCTC does not constitute or replace a notification to local law enforcement and all violations of the law should be reported to local law enforcement.
