Royal Exchange has created a handbook on safeguarding

safe to create (website)

contracts: behaviour clause

unions

formal complaints

governance and accountability

has lock down affected behaviours? have been come out full throttle and there are people that do not filter?

is there any room for the archaic "to be good means also to not be a nice person" front?

Aggressive behaviour or silent treatment => it is how people feel that matters not so much the actions - although some examples or real toxicity, aggressiveness and putting people down were discussed. Afterthought: even in the safe environment that was created in the Tortoise circle, amazingly no one including myself wanted to name names.

Repeat behaviour

Intellectual property and bullying (Burn Bright example)

HOW DO WE DEAL WITH ALL OF THESE IN A RESTORATIVE WAY?

Check ins + embedding wellbeing - not just ticking boxes.

Having an unbiased independent 3d party in the room - wellbeing

Commonwealth -list of 10 questions

Arks - Canadian Theatre

COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY + SILENCE

standing up for something vs the fear for damage to career

(same kind of problems with #metoo)

collective action
most times you are not alone but only think you are

NAME ON THE TABLE

cultural shift/open to feedback and criticism

should the debrief only happen in the end? - is there silence to just get on with it so the show goes up/goes on?

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST BE NICE?

one must not suffer for their art.

POWER dynamic

naming the power in the room

silence around the power

zero tolerance named from the start and keeping to it

POWER AND RESPONSIBLE LEADERS

Have we lost the nice people due to brexit and pandemic? Have we backtracked too much on all real progress in all issues on diversity, inclusivity and accessibility and are we just ticking boxes now?
