This safe space policy is all about creating an open and welcoming environment at Le Currents so that you feel comfortable to participate 

 

This policy applies to staff, attendees, artists, suppliers and contractors - everyone is seen as equal.

ASK FOR ANGELA/ ANDREW

​

Asking for Angela/ Andrew is a discreet way of telling our staff that you are feeling harassed in some way whilst at Le Currents. Our event and security staff know that if an attendee asks for Angela or Andrew, this means they are distressed and need assistance. Our event staff will discreetly get you to a safe space to support you in choosing how you would like to proceed. Please know that if you are being made to feel intimidated by anyone or anything while you are at Le Currents, you can report that to us anonymously.
