What happens when I make a consent report?

All reports move through the process outlined in the flowchart below.

Each situation is unique, and therefore the “next steps” section of the process is determined on a case-by-case basis.  Next steps may include simply listening to both sides and documenting, mediation, requesting extra efforts (such as taking a consent class), providing resources, working with the theme camp where the incident occurred, and/or advising the Event Leads in cases where ejection/banning is recommended.  

The goal of this process is to create an opportunity for the community to respond and hold each other accountable when there are breakdowns in consent. Our intention is to avoid public shaming or punishment - instead, interventions will be aimed towards education and improved understanding among all involved. We are not professional mediators. We are burners helping burners be radically excellent to one another.
