REPORTING
If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible.
You can make a personal report by:
- Speaking directly to your workshop/ course leader
- Emailing us at [email protected]
When taking a personal report, our staff will ensure you are safe and cannot be overheard.
They may involve other staff to ensure your report is managed properly. Once safe, we'll ask you to tell us about what happened. This can be upsetting, but we'll handle it as respectfully as possible, and you can bring someone to support you. You won't be asked to confront anyone and we won't tell anyone who you are.
Our team will be happy to help you contact local law enforcement, local support services, or otherwise assist you to feel safe for the duration of the course. We value your attendance.
