NCSF Consent Counts review

Consent Counts is the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom’s public collection of consent resources. I’d start with the section for groups, events and clubs. It has a sample policy for attendees and separate materials for the people who would have to respond to a concern.

Read the event policy from an attendee’s side

The sample for clubs and events shows how the organisers can tell people when to ask for permission, who to approach with a concern and what the venue expects around photography. I’d read it from the point of view of somebody coming to a new space. Could they tell who to ask for help without already knowing the organisers?

Find the documents for the staff side

The same index links to material on forming a response team and a separate privacy policy sample about sharing someone’s identity. Those are different decisions from writing a short policy for the door. If I was preparing a filmed production, I’d look at the Free Speech Coalition’s consent resources for its performer and production checklists. The Consent Counts examples I’d start with are written for event organisers.

Anabel’s take

I’d open the attendee example and the staff material together. The line I’d look for first is the one that tells a person in the room how to reach someone who can help.
