VISUAL RESOURCES AND POSTERS

This section contains a number of visual resources and posters created by SoundCheck Aotearoa, and links to examples of visuals and posters created by others.

The visual resources/posters fall into two categories:

  • Informational posters

  • Visual resources to be used at live music events

INFORMATIONAL POSTERS

The informational posters can be used in many different settings, ranging from an office, a music venue, or a health and safety noticeboard.  They may also be used in connection with a Sexual Harassment Policy to provide guidance to workers about on what sexual harassment is and examples of bystander intervention techniques.

OTHER RESOURCES FOR WORKERS ON LIVE MUSIC EVENTS

The resources for workers on live music events are intended as quick reference or visual guides to assist them in managing the risks of sexual harassment occurring at the event.  These resources are intended to tie in with existing policies and process in place at the event and include the following:

  • Prior to an event, workers should be briefed on the use of the laminate to be passed on and covered with stakeholders such as venue staff, security, promoters, acts. The laminate is primarily a reminder on previous training, briefings and reporting processes already covered.

    Prior to an event, reporting chains must be decided depending on scale of event and staff available;

    • Backstage – large event - at least one of the delegates should be visible/ known across all departments and could be H&S rep, Promoter rep, Merlin’s Pass holders. Beyond that, any staff member willing and able e.g Stage Manager, Artist Liaison etc;
