Visual Resources & Posters

This section includes visual resources and posters developed by SoundCheck Aotearoa, along with links to relevant materials created by other organisations.

The resources fall into two categories:

  • Informational posters

  • Visual resources for use at live music events

Informational Posters

Informational posters can be used across a range of settings, including offices, music venues, and health and safety noticeboards.

They can also support a Sexual Harassment Policy by providing clear guidance on what sexual harassment is and outlining examples of bystander intervention.

Quick reference resources for live music events

These resources for workers at live music events provide quick reference and visual guidance to help identify and manage risks of sexual harassment. They are designed to complement existing event policies and processes.

  • Before an event, workers should be briefed on how to use the laminated guidance materials. This briefing should be shared with all relevant stakeholders, including venue staff, security, promoters, and performers. The laminate is intended as a quick reference to reinforce existing training, briefings, and reporting processes.

    Reporting lines should be clearly established prior to the event, taking into account the event size and available staff:

    • Backstage – large events: At least one designated contact should be visible and known across departments (e.g. Health and Safety representative, promoter representative, or Merlin’s Pass holder). Other appropriate staff may include the Stage Manager or Artist Liaison.

    • Backstage – small events: Reporting may sit with roles such as the bar manager, promoter, or tour manager.

    • Public-facing – large events: Security staff should report to a supervisor, who will escalate to trained delegates.

    • Public-facing – small events: Reporting may be managed by roles such as the bar manager, promoter, tour manager, or merchandise staff.

  • Before an event, workers should be briefed on how to use the wallet cards and the information they contain. This should be shared with all relevant stakeholders, including venue staff, security, promoters, and performers.
