Safety is a priority for Diversity Saves in our events and programming. We consider it a foundational requirement when creating space for marginalized content creators to speak about and engage with TTRPG spaces. A Safety Coordinator (SC) will act as a non-cast/non-panelist 3rd party who facilitates the safety tools and discussions as well as mediates any issues. The SC will also act as a bridge to allow anonymous concerns or complaints to be brought up.

Training will be provided.
