Artist Safeguarding

Celtic Connections believes everyone should feel safe during the festival. The festival will not tolerate harmful behaviours. If a participant chooses to break these policies they may be removed from the event, and the matter reported to the relevant authorities.

We are committed to addressing incidents of sexual assault or harassment, and to ensuring that our festival is a safe and inclusive space. Allegations of sexual harassment, assault and violence will be taken seriously, acted upon promptly and investigated.

If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable at any point during your time with us, please speak to the Festival Office 0141 287 7482 or contact: lesley.shaw@glasgowlife.org.uk or mikaela.atkins@glasgowlife.org.uk

You can also report any instances of sexual harassment or abuse on the job to the Musicians Union Safe Space. All submissions are kept in confidence by the Musicians' Union. 

The MU Safe Space also have a useful list of other organisations you can contact for further support, which you can find here: www.musafespace.org.uk/support
