Safety

YOUR SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY AT LIQUICITY FESTIVAL.

At Liquicity Festival, we are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for everyone. Together with the community, visitors, crew, security, and safety experts in the field, we have developed this policy to address all forms of unwanted behaviour including sexual harassment, discrimination, bullying, aggression and violence.

Please take a moment to review the information below so you know what to do if you ever feel unsafe or witness something concerning at Liquicity Festival.

Keep an eye out for your fellow festival visitors. If you notice someone who seems uncomfortable or in distress, ask if they are okay or need help. This policy applies to all visitors, crew, artists, security, external vendors and anyone else involved or affiliated with the festival.

HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH UNWANTED BEHAVIOUR?

If you experience or witness unwanted behavior: please speak to any crew member. This includes security, first aid staff, general crew, or merchandise personnel. You can simply say, “I need help.” You do not need to explain the situation in detail unless you want to. These crew members will connect you to the festival’s central command center, where the situation will be handled with care and discretion.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU REPORT A SAFETY INCIDENT

  1. Your report will be logged, anonymously if you prefer. This helps us take appropriate action and monitor for recurring issues.
  2. Depending on the severity of the situation, the security team may observe, issue a warning, remove someone from the festival, or involve the police. These actions are always discussed with the person making the report or the person affected.
  3. The security team will continue to monitor the individuals involved to ensure the behaviour stops. If the person responsible is not removed, we will remain alert and follow up as needed.

We want to emphasise that all reports are logged carefully and in detail, allowing for well-considered decisions to be made in accordance with this safety policy. Please don’t hesitate to report any unwanted behaviour, even if you’re unsure whether it’s serious enough. If it feels wrong, it is worth addressing.

IF YOU DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE TALKING TO SECURITY

Security and all other crew generally work ‘independently’ from each other, so you have different options. If you don’t feel comfortable talking to a security team member, you can speak to another crew member. If you don’t feel comfortable talking to crew, you can approach someone form the security team. If you prefer not to speak to anyone affiliated with Liquicity for whatever reason, you can contact our external safety officer by email at [email protected]
