Events
We hope that everyone at our events will be kind, curious, and open to discussion. As an organising team, we are passionate about creating safe, inclusive, intersectional, and respectful spaces for sharing our work.
Discussing child sexual abuse and related topics can be challenging, emotive, and subjective, and that everyone’s understanding and experience is different. Please try to be clear when you’re speaking to your own experience, and respectful when others are speaking to theirs.
Do enter the event with a sense of generosity toward fellow participants, and an understanding of the difficulties in navigating narratives of sexual abuse and other sensitive subjects. Be respectful of the complexity of identities. Prejudiced language towards any marginalised group will not be tolerated by the hosts.
Discriminatory language or behaviour based on ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion or disability will not be accepted.
We ask you to be mindful that lots of different factors can cause distress or intrusive thoughts, some of which may not be clear or obvious.
We will provide further safety and wellbeing information on arrival at the event itself, but if you want to know more in advance, get in touch at recovery-histories@bbk.ac.uk
