A house policy is a documented framework for each separate venue that outlines rules and expectations, which should include how to identify and respond to an incident.

Venues discussed how the 'point of entry' process into the premise can communicate cultural expectations to patrons, such as having a consistent 'door person' to help identify and mitigate potentially problematic patrons before they enter the event, and also aesthetically identify with the culture of the venue, i.e. personability and aesthetics.

Subsequent discussion to what qualifications and skills are desirable in a door person, and the benefits and disadvantages in having an in-house hospitality worker or security/crowd controller presence.

Venues identified at-risk times for vulnerable patrons as sites of intervention. This identified the end-of-the-night process when venues are required to remove patrons, where being intoxicated or alone place heightened vulnerability to be targeted by unsafe behaviours.

Signage within venues and messaging over communication channels (such as social media) were enthusiastically identified for potential to communicate a venue’s cultural expectations of inclusivity and respect.

Possible signage included “Consent is Sexy”, “No means no” or “Good vibes for all”.
