Our Promise

Respect + Equality

ISPCAN operates with the simple premise everyone is treated with respect, kindness, and without special favors. We require adherence to our codes of conduct, child safeguarding, and diversity and inclusion policies for everyone who is always part of our community of learning.

These simple yet crucial rules ensure that all members, partners, and businesses are helping us create an environment for learning, networking and exchange that promote safe spaces and increase ethical behavior in all ISPCAN settings and business operations. For your reference, or to adapt and use these guidelines in your own organizations, please learn more below. Together we can focus on the learning, networking, and personal growth without anything getting in the way.

It is an important reminder and a promise to our community that we are conscientiously working to be fair, equal, and uphold the highest standards for everyone.
