Reporting Procedures and accountability

Allegations of any form of discrimination or harassment will be treated seriously, and all reports made to Fi Wi Road CIC will be treated with confidence. We will use our discretion in determining how to follow up on reported incidents. If warranted by the severity of the incident, the police will be notified and the reporting party will be informed of this.

Online

Our online archive is a collection of both public submissions and commissioned works. We vet all content submitted to us carefully, and continuously monitor the online archive. All opinions expressed in submitted content belong to the author alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Fi Wi Road Internship or Fi Wi Road CIC. The appearance of content on this site does not constitute an endorsement by the Fi Wi Road Internship or Fi Wi Road CIC. Any submissions containing explicit content are clearly marked as such.

If you have any concerns about content posted on the website please contact us at cynthia@fiwiroad.co.uk. We aim to respond to content reports within 24 hours.

In-Person

All panel sessions will be moderated by a member of the Fi Wi Road Internship team. Members of the team will be available for support throughout the Fair.

We are committed to ensuring that all individuals who attend the Fi Wi Road Fair 2024 feel safe and comfortable. If you experience or observe behaviour of any form at the Fair which compromises this please identify a member of the Fi Wi Road team. Members of the Fi Wi Road CIC team will be identifiable by a yellow lanyard. If you wish to report an incident in person you may directly approach, or otherwise be referred to, a member of these teams who will proceed with the reporting procedures. If you would prefer to speak to someone else about the incident please inform the member of the team that you are talking to.

If you would prefer not to discuss the incident(s) in person you may email cynthia@fiwiroad.co.uk, or a meeting can be organised.
