Safer spaces
EMF is taking everyone's comfort and well-being seriously. We already know from our last event that our community is kind, curious, and considerate. However with every large social group there may be misunderstandings and disagreements, and we want to ensure that everyone can find the support they need to feel safe. This year we have a clear Code of Conduct (which we may refine as we learn more), and our team members are experienced and level-headed individuals who are always open for a chat.
We recognise that power imbalances exist in society - where possible, we support punching up rather than down.
Since this is the first time we have a Comfort team we're starting things slowly and not become too ambitious too quickly. We will have a physical space to deal with any issues that arrive in a safe and private manner–details of this are being confirmed.
As part of our activities we also want to be in close contact with a number of key teams who address related concerns -- First Aid, Infodesk, and others. Do approach us for a chat!
Accessibility
Jane is the team lead on accessibility (Hi!).
We want EMF to be safe and accessible for everyone and we welcome feedback on things that go wrong so we can do better next time around. If you said you had accessibility needs when buying a ticket, you should have received an email checking up on that. If you haven't, or you have any concerns, please email comfort@emfcamp.org
There will be a more accessible camping area designated. This will be closer to toilets/showers and parking. There are five step-free toilets (at all three toilet sites) and one step-free shower.
Parking spaces closest to the site will be reserved for folk with mobility issues and it will be possible to bring your car onto the site if you arrive Thursday evening. For anyone arriving on Friday or later, please email comfort@emfcamp.org and we will arrange someone to help unload and bring your gear onsite.
Issues identified as not possible this year, but desirable for next time:
- closed-loop for stages
- golf-cart taxis
