Membership of NBPA is a privilege and this entails certain responsibilities and expectations. NBPA‘s goal is to provide an environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

This document outlines expected behaviour standards and provides a broad framework of conduct that members have an obligation to uphold. Objective This document provides general guidelines to ensure that the environment for Members, guests and visitors, while playing at events organised by NBPA, is free from discrimination, harassment and abuse.

Behaviour
