I do know that I wouldn't ever report something to a nameless phone number or generic email address, so I'd like there to be some identity in place, whether it's "any staff member of the Foundation" or "staff at the conference identified by a badge or shirt" or some sort of spread-out reporting mechanism. Offering training, even just an hour for role play, for those identified people would be helpful as well. </div>
</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div> Agreed. There should be at least a small group, especially for events, so that one person doesn't get hammered but also so there's a committee to make judgement calls etc. Love the idea of some training too.<br>
