As a unit, we allow members to bring mobile phones to meetings and events (however please note, these are not covered by our insurance). We ask that members refrain from using their mobile phones when partaking in activities although in free time / downtime, you are permitted to use them.
If you cause disruption by using your phone, the following will apply:
- First offence: A verbal warning will be issued by a member of the leadership team, who may also confiscate the mobile device for a short period of time.
- Repeat offence: A formal verbal warning will be issued by a member of the leadership team and the device will be confiscated until the end of the evening.
