GBR Policies

Policies That Reflect Our Values

GBR operates with integrity, transparency, and Biblical ethics. Our policies govern all aspects of organisational life, from member conduct and financial management to privacy, inclusion, and global engagement.

Organisational Policies

Members Code of Conduct

All members must conduct themselves with integrity and Christlike character at all GBR sessions, events, and platforms. GBR reserves the right to suspend or remove members acting inconsistently with its values.

Events & Sessions Code of Conduct

All participants at GBR events must observe GBR's standards. Disruptive behaviour at any in-person or virtual event will result in removal and potential membership review.

Member Discipline Policy

Where a member has violated GBR's policies, this outlines the process for investigation and resolution, handled confidentially and in line with Biblical principles of justice and restoration.

Member in Good Standing Policy

Members in good standing have met their obligations. Only such members may vote on governance matters, hold positions, or apply for GBR programmes.

Grievance Policy

Members may raise formal complaints through the GBR Secretariat. All grievances are reviewed by the Ethics and Standards Committee, with outcomes communicated in writing.

Conflict of Interest & Disclosure Policy

Board members, committee chairs, and staff must disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest, protecting GBR's resources and ensuring decisions serve the organisation's best interests.

Confidentiality Policy

All with access to confidential GBR information must maintain strict confidentiality. Unauthorised disclosure will be addressed under the Discipline Policy.

Whistleblower Policy

GBR provides a safe, confidential channel for reporting suspected wrongdoing without fear of retaliation. All reports are reviewed by the Ethics and Standards Committee with Biblical fairness.

Antitrust & Fair Competition Policy

Members may not use GBR platforms for anti-competitive conduct. GBR is committed to facilitating legitimate business growth that benefits members and society.

Non-Discrimination & Harassment Policy

Every member participates with dignity and respect, regardless of background, nationality, gender, age, or profession. Harassment is strictly prohibited and addressed through GBR's disciplinary procedures.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy

Rooted in the conviction that every person is created equal in God's image, GBR's programmes and community spaces are designed to be accessible, representative, and welcoming to all.

Culture & Belonging Policy

GBR ensures every member feels seen, valued, and empowered to contribute, celebrating diversity while uniting around a shared Biblical foundation.
