More than just words
UK Games Expo believes that keeping us all safe is far more than a matter of having a policy - its about what we do to actively promote this environment.
This begins at the level of how we train our volunteers. All volunteers have to participate in a webinar which emphasizes and clarifies an active approach. This approach means doing something if you see a problem and not just ignoring it. One phrase we use in that training is:
"The behaviour you walk past or ignore is the behaviour you condone"
UK Games Expo was the first convention to oblige all volunteers from its senior staff down to participate in this training so that on the weekend they all know what to do if they encounter behaviour that is inappropriate.
