What is a Safe Space policy? We care a lot about your safety in our scene. Our Safe Spaces policy is designed to look after your rights to empower you to come forward, so if something happens you have every confidence we&#8217;ll be there to listen, and more importantly act with your consent and total confidentiality in mind. In conjunction with out Safe Spaces policy, our\u00a0Code of Conduct\u00a0also highlights what we expect of people at our classes, workshops, events, venues and anywhere where Swing Patrol operates. Safe Spaces Policy and Procedure Physical assault, sexual assault, and harassment are criminal offences.Swing Patrol will fully support anyone who chooses to make a report to the police. How to make a report If something has happened that concerns you \u2014 whether at an event or elsewhere \u2014 please don&#8217;t hesitate to speak up. A report can be made by anyone: a student, dancer, volunteer, observer, or teacher. Speak to any Swing Patrol team member at an event \u2014 a teacher, door person, volunteer, or DJ. Contact our director and Safe Spaces Manager, Scott Cupit, directly by email, phone, or text (details below). Reports can be made in person, by phone, text, or email \u2014 whatever feels most comfortable for you. You may choose not to name the person involved, though it does make it harder for us to take action. We understand, and will work with whatever you&#8217;re comfortable sharing. A report can also be made on your behalf by a friend or family member \u2014 someone you trust. All reports are treated seriously, respectfully, confidentially and with discretion. What happens after you make a report Whoever receives your report will listen carefully, note the details, and make sure it reaches the right person. Here&#8217;s what you can expect: At the class\/event: if the incident just happened and the person responsible is still there, a team member may speak with them informally, issue a verbal warning, or ask them to leave. Details of the incident and any subsequent action will be passed on to Swing Patrol Director, Scott Cupit. After the class\/event: if the incident you are reporting happened previously or elsewhere, the person you reported to will pass this on to Swing Patrol Director, Scott Cupit to determine the appropriate course of action. The person you make the report to will listen to what you have to say, take note of details, take note of names and contact information. You may be asked for further information\/clarification. You may choose to omit names, but of course it\u2019s much more difficult to take action on any inappropriate behaviour if we don\u2019t know who is responsible. A note on support: our team members are fellow dancers doing their best \u2014 they&#8217;re not necessarily trained counsellors or qualified legal professionals. They will always do their best to listen and support you, and can connect you with professional resources if needed. We do our best to treat everyone with respect and decency, and provide a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone. What Actions might be taken There&#8217;s no single response that fits every situation. Scott Cupit will talk to all parties (where named), gathering more information. A variety of actions might be taken, depending on the situation and circumstances. The aim is to look after everyone\u2019s safety, and where possible, help people change behaviour with dignity and integrity. Possible actions include: For the person who reported (complainant) A &#8216;Circle of Safety&#8217; arrangement if needed Connection to external support resources A longer-term safety plan for attending classes and events Clear communication about any actions taken For the person responsible (perpetrator) A conversation to understand context and intent Clear explanation of the impact of their behaviour A supervised monitoring or mentoring plan A fixed-term ban where appropriate Important and Useful Contacts Scott Cupit \u2014 Director, Swing Patrol Email: cupit.scott@gmail.comPhone\/text: 0435 660 892 NSW Police 13 14 44police.nsw.gov.au\/sexualassault NSW Rape Crisis Centre 1800 424 017nswrapecrisis.com.au Lifeline24\/7 crisis support 13 11 14lifeline.org.au 1800RESPECTSexual assault &amp; family violence 1800 737 7321800respect.org.au 13YARN 13 92 7613yarn.org.au Rainbow Sexual, Domestic and Family Violence 1800 497 212fullstop.org.au Men&#8217;s Referral Service 1300 766 491ntv.org.au\/mrs Beyond Blue 1300 224 636beyondblue.org.au All reports are handled with seriousness, respect, and strict confidentiality.

What happens when I report something? The person you make the report to will listen to what you have to say, take note of details, take note of names and contact information. You may be asked for further information\/clarification. You may choose to omit names, but of course it\u2019s much more difficult to take action on any inappropriate behaviour if we don\u2019t know who is responsible. The person you make the report to will do their best to support and comfort you. Swing Patrol team members are usually not trained counsellors, nor qualified legal professionals. We are just dancers who are doing our best to treat each other with respect"}
