Safer Space Principles

All of our activities operate according to safer space principles

The aim of a safer space is to create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to participate as their authentic selves. A safer space is created together by following these principles in Nicehearts Association’s locations and activities: 

YOU CAN BE YOURSELF 

  • You do not have to explain your existence to others. 
  • I do not make assumptions about others based on appearance, gender, age, skin color, or disability. 

WE RESPECT EACH OTHER 

  • I do not touch others without consent. 
  • I do not engage in verbal or physical harassment. 
  • I do not use offensive language. 
  • I listen to others. 
  • I give everyone space to participate. 
  • I understand that my words and actions affect others. 
  • I do not comment on others’ or my own appearance. 
  • I am willing to apologise if I cause harm.
