Welfare
No Fighting, No Ego Biting
CHALK is a place of acceptance and love. We do not tolerate any form of homophobia, misogyny, racism, transphobia or ableism. All of our staff are trained to deal with sensitive situations proactively and with understanding. It is ultimately important to us that you enjoy your time with us and that you feel safe when you are at CHALK, so if anything or anyone makes you feel uncomfortable, please let one of us know.
• We have a fully trained medic on-site throughout all club nights.
• We have welfare officers within the venue specifically to look for and aid vulnerable people.
• We supply StopTops free of charge - although when there is a shortage of these, clingfilm will be provided.
• Every single member of our staff has been trained by Good Night Out to ensure we can not only deal sympathetically and proactively with potential incidents of harassment or assault but also spot people in need and take action prior to it happening.
• We ensure that no vulnerable person leaves our venue alone, and we take every effort to ensure that they are delivered home safely.
• We retain information on everyone who enters the venue either by a ticket purchased prior to the event or by scanning their ID before entering and sometimes both so that the police can trace any alleged offender. We only accept government-issued photo ID such as passports or driver's licences. Any form of Pass Card will not be accepted.
• All bags will be checked as a condition of entry.
• We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards misogyny, harassment, homophobia, racism, transphobia and ableism. We clearly state this throughout the venue and will ban anyone engaging in that sort of behaviour both from our venue and others throughout the city.
If you ever feel unwell, please see any member of staff, they will be happy to help.We aim to provide an egalitarian environment. We do not believe in VIP; it doesn’t matter how much money you have, we try to treat everyone with the same respect and decency. CHALK: inclusive, not exclusive.
