Aims:

This project evaluates the All Good Safe Venues program and the All Good Festivals safety and wellbeing service. The project aims to understand what it means to keep safe at music venues and festivals in the NT.

Objectives:

To evaluate the value of the All Good Safe Venues program and inform project design into the future. The project will also help document the harassment, safety and wellbeing experiences of patrons and staff from music venues in the NT.

Summary:

The project explores safety and wellbeing strategies, harassment, active bystander behaviours and alcohol and other drug use at festivals and music venues in the NT. The project has a mixed-methods evaluation design that includes surveying at a major NT festival, pre and post training surveys for staff of live music venues as well as qualitative interviews with staff of live music venues.

Implications for policy and practice:

The project will inform how the All Good Safe Venues program is designed and implemented. This will have practical benefit for patrons, staff and performers at live music venues and festivals in the NT by improving active bystander behaviours and safety and wellbeing support services.
