The SCA prohibits harassment and bullying of all individuals and groups.  

Harassment and bullying includes, but is not limited to the following:

• The display of explicit images (drawn or photographic) depicting an individual in an inappropriate manner;
• Photographing or recording individuals inappropriately to abuse or harass the individual;
• Inappropriate physical contact; unwelcome sexual attention; or retaliation for reporting harassment and/or bullying.

Participants violating these rules are subject to appropriate sanctions. If an individual feels subjected to harassment, bullying or retaliation, they should contact a Seneschal, President of the SCA, or your Kingdom’s Board Ombudsman If a participant of the SCA becomes aware that someone is being harassed or bullied, they have a responsibility pursuant to the SCA Code of Conduct to come forward and report this behavior to a Seneschal, President of the SCA, or your Kingdom’s Board Ombudsman
