Training & standards
BETTER PROFESSIONALS.
A SAFER SCENE.
Practical training for teams, managers, HR, DJs, artists, promoters, security, academies and companies that want to prevent abuse, harassment, violence, discrimination and harmful practice before it becomes harm.
What we train
A CODE IS NOT ENOUGH. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO APPLY IT.
Frequency Forge training is behaviour-based, practical and accountable. We do not assess people by political or religious ideas or protected identities. We focus on conduct: harassment, coercion, abuse of power, violence, discrimination, retaliation, threats, recruitment toward violent extremism or incitement to hatred, and other behaviour incompatible with a safer environment.
Who it is for
FROM HR TO THE BOOTH. FROM CLASSROOM TO CLUB.
DJS, ARTISTS & CREW
Boundaries, consent, audience contact, backstage, private messaging, alcohol and capacity to consent, bystander intervention and duty to report.
CLUBS, FESTIVALS & SECURITY
Prevention, early identification, proportionate intervention, escalation, evidence preservation, external coordination and protection from retaliation.
ACADEMIES & SCHOOLS
Teacher-student boundaries, safeguarding, minors where relevant, reporting routes, inclusion and classroom culture.
COMPANIES & INSTITUTIONS
Talks, workshops and leadership training embedding these standards into events, sponsorships, suppliers and organisational culture.

Responsible hiring
HIRE WITH CRITERIA. MANAGE WITH EVIDENCE.

We avoid blacklists, rumours and belief profiling: decisions should be grounded in relevant conduct, facts and a fair process.

How quality is evidenced
LEARN. IMPLEMENT. EVIDENCE. REVIEW.
Services can include objectives, attendance, learning checks, action plans, implementation evidence and follow-up review. A certificate of attendance confirms training completed; it does not on its own equal the FF Safer Scene Mark.
Professional boundary
WE TRAIN AND DESIGN SYSTEMS. WE DO NOT REPLACE SPECIALIST SERVICES.
Content should be reviewed with qualified professionals where it touches employment law, equality, data protection, minors, gender-based violence, security, mental health, emergencies or incident investigation. Immediate risk should be escalated to competent services.
