CODE OF CONDUCT FOR WAYWARD HEARTS DATING EVENTS AND MATCHMAKING

1. Introduction

At Wayward Hearts, we are dedicated to cultivating genuine connections through our dating events and matchmaking services. This Code of Conduct governs every interaction—whether online or in-person—between our staff, event partners, and all individuals who participate in our services. By engaging with our events and matchmaking process, you agree to uphold these standards and contribute to a positive, respectful community.

2. Scope and Applicability

  • Who This Applies To: This Code applies to all participants involved with Wayward Hearts, including clients, staff members, and event partners. It covers every interaction across digital and physical platforms.

  • Coverage: All communications and conduct related to Wayward Hearts events and matchmaking must reflect the values outlined below. Whether you are engaging face-to-face at an event or communicating online, the same high standard of behavior is expected.

3. Expected Behavior at Dating Events

Respect Everyone: Be kind, courteous, and respectful to fellow attendees, event staff, and venue personnel. Any form of harassment, discrimination, or offensive behaviour will not be tolerated.

  • Consent: Respect personal boundaries. No unwanted touching or advances. Always ask for and receive clear consent before initiating any form of physical contact.

  • Honesty and Transparency: Clear, honest communication is crucial. We expect every individual to be forthright in expressing intentions, sharing information, and engaging in a way that contributes to a genuine connection.

Respect and Professionalism: Be kind, courteous, and respectful to fellow attendees, event staff, and venue personnel. Any form of harassment, discrimination, or offensive behaviour will not be tolerated.

  • Keep Conversations Respectful: Use polite and considerate language. Avoid inappropriate jokes, offensive remarks, or anything that make others uncomfortable.

  • No Pressure, No Intimidation: This is a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Persistent unwanted attention, coercion, or aggressive behaviour is not okay and will not be tolerated. It will be grounds to have you removed from an event.

  • Privacy Matters: Respect the privacy of fellow attendees. Do not share personal details, conversations, or experiences of others without their consent.

  • Consume Responsibly:  Enjoy yourself but know your limits. Excessive intoxication or disruptive behaviour due to consumption may result in being asked to leave.

  • Dress Appropriately: Dress to impress as our events are social, stylish and fun! While there is no strict dress code, if you are wearing attire that is offensive or inappropriate for a social setting you will be denied entry to the event.

  • No Unauthorised Recording or Photos:  During events you are expected to refrain from using your phone. Do no take photos, videos, or recordings of other guests without their permission. Wayward Hearts may have a photo booth set up or an official event photographer capturing moments for promotional purposes while respecting the privacy of attendees.

  • Follow Venue Guidelines: Respect the venue’s rules and property. Treat the space with care and be mindful of other guests and staff.

  • Speak up! If you see or experience any inappropriate behaviour, please notify our event staff immediately. We’re here to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. This is really important to us.
