Enter Closer encourages any worker, artist, producer or client (collectively referred to in this document as “workers”) who believes they have been subjected to or have witnessed a worker being subjected to discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment or bullying to report the behaviour to one of the below representatives:

Enter Closer will usually deal with a complaint regarding discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment or bullying in accordance with this procedure. However, where it is considered appropriate to do so, Enter Closer may deal with the complaint in an alternative way, in order to resolve the complaint in a confidential, efficient and sensitive manner. In those circumstances, Enter Closer will provide details of the process for dealing with the complaint that is fair procedurally.
