	EMF is taking everyone's comfort and well-being seriously. We already know from our last event that our community is kind, curious, and considerate. However with every large social group there may be misunderstandings and disagreements, and we want to ensure that everyone can find the support they need to feel safe. This year we have a clear [https://www.emfcamp.org/code-of-conduct Code of Conduct] (which we may refine as we learn more), and our team members are experienced and level-headed individuals who are always open for a chat.

	Since this is the first time we have a Comfort team we're starting things slowly and not become too ambitious too quickly. We ~~are currently investigating whether we can make~~ a ~~dedicated safe~~ space ~~tent available, however it is possible~~ that this ~~may not be the case. Instead we would then try and identify alternative options~~.		We recognise that power imbalances exist in society - where possible, we support punching up rather than down.

			Since this is the first time we have a Comfort team we're starting things slowly and not become too ambitious too quickly. We will have a physical space to deal with any issues that arrive in a safe and private manner–details of this are being confirmed.

	As part of our activities we also want to be in close contact with a number of key teams who address related concerns -- First Aid, Infodesk, and others. Do approach us for a chat!
