Guidelines

To understand if I am conducting myself in a correct manner, I should ask myself:

  • Is it legal?
  • Have I exercised “Duty of Care” (ie taken responsibility to avoid placing myself and others at risk of injury)?
  • Will I be proud of what I have done?
  • Are my actions consistent with U3A Redlands District Inc. Constitution and By Laws?
  • Do I think it is the right thing to do?
  • Would I accept the same from others?
