MUA INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION / PARTICIPATION PRINCIPLES

PARTICIPATION PRINCIPLES

Make space.
Take care.

Proposed participation principles for a respectful professional exchange. The operator must confirm acceptance, review and concern-handling procedures before running membership activities.

01

Respect the person

Engage with the contribution and its context. Avoid harassment, discrimination, intimidation, personal attacks and assumptions about someone’s background or competence. Respect a person’s decision not to share work or continue a discussion.

02

Represent your role accurately

Use your actual role and experience. Do not imply a qualification, accreditation, official position, partnership or association approval that has not been granted. Disclose a commercial interest connected with a proposal.

03

Credit and ask permission

Attribute references and collaborators. Share only material you own or are authorised to use. Permission to attend a conversation does not automatically permit recording, quotation or publication.

04

Protect privacy

Keep confidential client records, private messages, personal contact details and sensitive information out of public discussion. Ask before introducing someone or sharing their professional details.

05

Keep the scope clear

Distinguish personal experience, interpretation and verified information. Do not present a peer exchange as an assessment, legal determination, medical recommendation or technical protocol. Seek the appropriate qualified source when needed.

06

Raise a concern through the right route

The operator must publish its responsible contact, review process and reporting arrangements before activities begin. Use the contact page to request an appropriate private route without sending sensitive allegations through this draft form. No moderation, complaint resolution or emergency response service is connected to this website.
