Buddy System

A buddy system pairs attendees so each person has a trusted contact who watches out for their well-being during an event—checking in, helping navigate logistics, and supporting safe departures. Buddies can assist with consent boundaries, notice signs of distress, and coordinate with staff if intervention is needed. The system is voluntary and relies on mutual agreement about roles and limits; it complements venue policies and trained staff rather than replacing them. Clear expectations and contact plans make buddy pairings reliable safety tools in social settings.
