Be Kind - 
Kindness is at the centre of everything we do. Please treat everyone — readers, authors, vendors, volunteers — with warmth, courtesy, and care.

Be Respectful
We honour differences in background, identity, and lived experience. Use inclusive language, respect personal boundaries, and help us maintain a welcoming environment.

No Bullying or Harassment
SITP is a safe space. Bullying, intimidation, exclusion, or harmful behaviour — in person or online — is not accepted.

If someone’s behaviour makes you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, please speak with event organisers.

Keep It Professional 
If disagreements arise, handle them gently and privately. Avoid public call‑outs or online conflict related to the event.
 
We’re here to support you if you need help resolving an issue.

Photography With Consent 
Photos are welcome — but always ask first. Never photograph minors without guardian permission. Please be mindful when posting images online.
