10   CONFIDENTIALITY AND ETHCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

All members and potential members are expected to abide by the Wiccan Rede, the Law of Return, the Inclusive Wicca Oath of Practice, by any initiation oath and to the ethical constraints of Wicca. Members shall also abide by the O & M charter and constitution.

No member, with the exception of the Chair, shall speak for O & M or allow him or herself to be considered a spokesperson for the coven or school, unless he or she has written permission from the relevant Coven Council. That having been said, members are encouraged to share their personal experience with others, if they so desire but they must do so advising that their opinions and experiences are theirs and not necessarily those of their coven or school colleagues.

All contact and personal details held by both Coven Councils shall be strictly confidential and will not be released to any persons or organisation without the specific and prior written consent of the person or persons involved. No members will reveal any personal or contact details of any coven colleague to any other person or organisation. Breach of this condition is grounds for immediate and permanent expulsion from the coven.

Members and Friends of the Oak and Mistletoe shall at all times respect the rights of others. All communications between members and Friends of the Coven, regardless of whether conducted via electronic or any other means shall not contain profanities, abusive or inflammatory language, violent or pornographic content. Any members contravening this requirement will be expelled immediately.
