Further help with security protocols
Security has a prominent place amongst things to consider when organising an LGBTI event in an ‘at-risk’ context
When developing a security protocol, start with research, size and type of the event
Staff and volunteers’ roles should be detailed and clearly assigned, with one person responsible solely for security
Visible security measures and professional help make the event even more secure
A set of actions must be ready for an emergency situation. Have a Plan B in case the event has to be cancelled
