‘Safe spaces’ were discussed for their importance in access to quieter, lower sensory areas (i.e. less lighting changes) in a venue for neurodivergent or anxious patrons; as was ‘safe space’ for clear areas to smoke, where nicotine was discussed as a stigmatised anti-psychotic management for some patrons.

It was also identified in how managers can move around venues to observe, provide visibility and lighting in ‘safe spaces’ in the venue. Higher risk areas were identified for each venue team, such as areas that are low lit or have limited visibility from the bar.
