NARIX believes in creating a welcoming environment that is inclusive, equitable, accessible, and accountable. We want to empower NARIX attendees and community members to seek support, and share information about incidents that occur at NARIX.
If you experienced harm, something distressing has occurred, or you witnessed a situation that is dangerous to attendees, please consider reporting that to us. Please use this report form to communicate with us regarding issues that impacted your experience, incidents that happened during our event, or situations that require follow up action around our event policies. You can also use this form to report concerns about NARIX Steering Committee members.
We will do our best to respect how the person who reports to us wants the matter to be handled. We will do our best to work with those who report in a way they feel most comfortable. If you are not ready for action to be taken, we've pulled together resources that might help you here (link forthcoming shortly!).
Our Process:
1. When we receive the form, it is shared with our Community Support & Response (CSR) team, which is a volunteer group vetted for their discretion and experience in supporting our community. If needed, information from your report may be shared with the NARIX Steering Committee, unless you've told us you don't want a specific person involved, or if your report involves a steering committee member. If you say on the form you want to discuss further with us, we will reach out to you. At least two CSR team members will be involved in conversations.
2. If your report involves another person and you feel comfortable permitting us to reach out, we will follow up with other people involved to tell them we have received a report and offer them the opportunity to discuss the situation with us.
3. We may follow up with additional questions with everyone’s permission to do so.
4. We will decide if action needs to be taken if we feel the situation poses a danger to participants in our events.
5. We will notify the people involved of our decision (unless someone has requested we don’t).
(While it is our strong preference to intake feedback and reports in conversation with you, we understand that sometimes we will only get information if we are willing to get it anonymously. Please consider this your last resort, but you may find our anonymous report form here: https://forms.gle/hQZ5kYawas2k7Zz57 )
