Resources
Are you looking for tangible tools, skills and involvement in making positive change? We’ve compiled resources for venue teams to apply to their own teams and buildings.
House Policy and Procedures Update
Venues have House Policies which set out procedures and expectations on how to respond to incidents. These are document templates with suggestions on how to update clear processes for your venue team.
Harassment Report Form
Practical template for encouraging your venue team in recording incidents of antisocial behaviors. Not all incidents are violent, and keeping records can empower venue managers to understand their clientele and rostering security protocols. Information is power.
