We're Safe Only Ltd. A
not-for-profit, peer led team of queer nightlife angels,
raising the standard one party at a time.
You've seen us on the door. You've seen us working the
bar. You've seen us serving welfare. You've seen us on
the dancefloor.
You know us and we know you ❤
Our community deserves more from the party planners! We
deserve to be looked out for by people who know what we
need, who we are, what makes us thrive! We're done with
impersonal security that has no stake in our community's
joy.
We're done with hiding from management because we're
scared of being kicked out. So we're bringing you the all
inclusive security/welfare/harm reduction team of your
dreams - hot AF, fully trained, and at your service.
1. For us, by
us – security, welfare, harm reduction and nightlife
services for LGBTQ+ events, with a team of exclusively queer
individuals.
2. Cultural shifts – promoting
the values of harm reduction, self-regulation, community care
within nightlife spaces. Acknowledging our community
practices and working with them, rather than against
them.
3. Setting the standard –
paying everyone specialist wages which reflect the skill,
expertise and commitment to the job. Working with venues and
promoters willing to guarantee a high standard of working
conditions for all our team.
4. Nothing but love –
we’re not interested in scare tactics, intimidation or brute
force. We will not co-opt the behaviours of systems which
oppress queer people. We work with de-escalation principles,
from a starting point of calling in before pushing out.
5. On It Staff – access to
niche training, with options of specialisms for all our team.
Everyone will receive thorough induction training, no matter
what their previous experience in the field. Accessible,
community specific, queerly skewed. Working with
practitioners whose approaches reflect ours.
6. Heart of the party – our
hearts are with the party goers. We share the space with
them, we bring the energy we want to receive.
