Category:SafeSpaceWG
Category:SafeSpaceWG (WG) for SafeSpace advocates page tagging. SafeSpaceWG operates as a group of ombuds advocates, and on projects to encourage safe use of the space.
An ombudsman (/ˈɒmbʊdzmən/ OM-buudz-mən, also US: /-bədz-, -bʌdz-/ -bədz-, -budz-[1][2][3]), ombud, ombuds, bud, ombudswoman, ombudsperson or public advocate is a government employee who investigates and tries to resolve complaints, usually through recommendations (binding or not) or mediation. They are usually appointed by the government or by parliament (often with a significant degree of independence).
Ombudsmen also aim to identify systemic issues leading to poor service or breaches of people's rights. At the national level, most ombudsmen have a wide mandate to deal with the entire public sector, and sometimes also elements of the private sector (for example, contracted service providers). In some cases, there is a more restricted mandate to a certain sector of society. More recent developments have included the creation of specialized children's ombudsmen.
(Principles of safespace work, and anarchism (voluntary, hierarchy-limited self-association). Neither your servant nor master, neither your mother nor father, neither your employee nor employeer; your peer (in respect & expectations alike). (WIP).
