Be respectful

• Treat everyone with courtesy and respect, regardless of background.
• Harassment, discrimination, or intimidation of any kind will not be tolerated.

• Dispose of rubbish in the bins provided.

Be mindful of noise

Share the space

Food and drink

• You’re welcome to eat and drink at your desk, but be mindful of strong-smelling food in shared areas.
