Community guidelines

Last updated: 5 November 2026

Essex.club exists to make local connection feel welcoming. These expectations apply online and at Essex.club gatherings.

Be kind and respectful

Treat people with dignity. Harassment, bullying, threats, discrimination, humiliation and unwanted sexual attention are not accepted.

Respect boundaries

Do not pressure anyone to share contact details, photographs, personal information, money, transport or further meetings. A refusal or lack of interest must be respected immediately.

Keep it genuine

Use accurate information. Do not impersonate others, create fake registrations, misrepresent a business or promote scams and misleading opportunities.

No aggressive promotion

Gatherings are for connection, not unsolicited sales pitches, recruitment schemes, political campaigning or repeated self-promotion unless the event explicitly permits it.

Photography

Hosts will explain photography arrangements. Do not photograph or publish identifiable images of another attendee without appropriate permission.

Safety

Follow venue rules and host safety instructions. Report hazards, harassment or concerning behaviour promptly. In an emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service.

Reporting

Email concerns to hello@essex.club. Reports will be considered proportionately and information shared only where needed to manage safety, legal or operational responsibilities.
