Welfare
Code of Conduct
To ensure everyone has a good time while at BIP, we ask all participants to adhere to our Code of Conduct, which has been emailed to you and can be read on our website as well. Let's all maintain an environment in which people are treated with dignity, decency and respect.Your welfare Team
Our welfare team is made up of friendly volunteers who have all attended many past events. Come and find us at any point over the weekend — we'll be the ones wearing pink BIP tops! We're here for you to talk to if you have any concerns or issues with anything at BIP, or if you just fancy a chat. If you want to raise a concern without talking to us, you can leave a message in the welfare box at main reception.
Your welfare is one of our top priorities at BIP — if you're not having a good time, then nothing else matters. At the same time, there's only a handful of us. That means it's hard for us to proactively spot people who are having a hard time. We really encourage you to come and talk to us!
Reporting an incident
To report an urgent incident, please find one of us. If you cannot find someone in person, call Jo on 0797 327 8052 .
When you report an incident, there is no required information and we will respect any requests for privacy. However, the more information we have to act on and potentially relay to others where necessary, the better we will be equipped to solve any immediate or ongoing problems and make things better in the future.
Noise and Quiet
At various points over the weekend, 90 improvisers will be in one room together. This can get very noisy. Please be aware of this if you have sound sensitivities, especially during warm up/get to know you games, or the evening entertainment.
Outside of programmed workshop times, Meet 12 is available as a designated Quiet Room. Unfortunately we don't have the resources to provide a quiet room throughout the whole event.
Drinks
The venue bar sells a range of alcoholic and soft drinks. If you are bringing your own alcohol, please drink it discreetly and clean up any empty bottles or cans after you've finished.
Please drink responsibly; only you can judge your limits.
