SAFE(R) SPACE SOURCES

Whilst High Key was founded out of a love for the UK rave scene, it is important to be aware that nightlife in the UK does not always feel safe or inclusive for everyone.

As more people become aware of these issues, we are seeing a slow rise in Safer Space policies being implemented at events. These are usually a set of guidelines made by the event organiser for the attendees, artists, and venue security & staff to adhere to in order to avoid harassment, discrimination and other incidents.

We have made this resource page to encourage promoters and artists to educate themselves on how to make raves a safer and more inclusive space for all.
