GENERAL STATEMENT
The WeeFestival is committed to providing safe and respectful working environments free from harassment, sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination and other unwelcome behaviour (aka prohibited conduct, see appendix A) for all artists, arts workers (technicians, administrative, etc.), and volunteers. Conduct intended to undermine the dignity or self-esteem of any individual, and behaviours that create intimidating, hostile or toxic work environments, will not be tolerated. Microaggressions should be mitigated.
We want all individuals working with the WeeFestival to know that they are safe to speak up about inappropriate behavior and they will be heard. We will provide support for those who have experienced, witnessed, or been harmed through inappropriate behaviours. We will take prompt action to address inappropriate behavior and allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
Healthy behaviour is respectful, safe, reciprocal, and even playful where there is synchronicity. Problematic behaviour can be unilateral, controlling, disrespectful, harassing, abusive, or violent.
This policy is further supported by our Anti-Racism and Non-Discrimination policy
