The Queensland Kendo Renmei takes member protection and sport integrity seriously and expect ALL members tp behave and interact with each other in line with AKR Policies, Values and QKR Policies at ALL times. This means that we treat each other with respect, care, honesty, fairness and dignity to ensure a positive and supportive culture and a safe, ethical and inclusive environment. In particular, those who supervise, manage or have power over others have a special responsibility to model positive and correct behaviour, and to ensure that the people they supervise and influence understand the standard of performance and behaviour that is expected of them. Members are expected to accommodate and respect different opinions and perspectives and manage disagreements by rational debate.
