Each case will be discussed with the Main Administrator (and the Main Administrator can take over the case – but the Youth Administrator will still remain actively involved in all investigations), and if any UKSC Youth Member is found to be harassing another UKSC Youth Member, that Member could be suspended  or banned from the UK Serama Club. Any suspension or banning will be via email to the UKSC Youth Member.

Courses of Action 1.      Notification to the Youth Administrator via email. 2.      The Youth Administrator will contact the member by email (or if they so wish by other means – telephone, MSN messenger etc) 3.      Discussion of the situation from the start. Everything discussed is noted down for future reference (if needed). 4.      The following outcomes will be considered: a) No immediate action but situation will be monitored. b) The offending Member will be notified by email of possible consequences. c) In the case of suspension, the Youth Administrator and the Main Administrator will decide the length of suspension. d) If the offence is considered severe the Member may be banned – in which case there will not be any refund of their UKSC membership fee. IF THE OFFENCE IS SUCH THAT IT BREAKS THE LAW, THE POLICE WILL BE CONTACTED. ALL DECISIONS WILL BE MADE IN WRITING BY EMAIL.
