WORKERS, EMPLOYEES, and CONTRACTORS ON LIVE MUSIC EVENTS

This section contains guidance for people who work on live music events as an individual worker, whether as an employee or contractor. It can be read together with the Guidance on Resources for the Live Music Sector.

If you are a business working on live music events, there is guidance for you HERE.

Everyone at work can be involved in preventing sexual harassment, both in the workplace generally, and in connection with specific events.

You can:

• Model respectful and appropriate behaviours at all times. For some information on what this might involve, check out the Code of Conduct.

• Think about how you can help or speak up if you see inappropriate behaviour. This is called Bystander Intervention.

• Ask your manager if there is a sexual harassment policy in place and where you can find it.

• Talk to your manager about putting some strategies in place (e.g. “I have noticed that more and more people are integrating sexual harassment prevention into events by using the SoundCheck Aotearoa policies, posters, training and safety briefings”).

• Sign up for some training about preventing sexual harassment.

SUPPORT AND INFORMATION FOR WORKERS

If you are looking for information or support about sexual harassment that you or a friend or colleague has experienced, check out your company’s sexual harassment policy, and our Support page.
