🌿 Rescape Now Safety & Trust Framework

  • Purpose

    Rescape Now exists to connect people with last-minute opportunities for art, nature, movement, and community wellbeing.
    To keep this experience safe, inclusive, and respectful for everyone, we ask every host and participant to follow the principles below.

    1. Shared Responsibility

    Safety and trust are collective.
    Each host, participant, and community partner plays a role in keeping the Rescape Now network welcoming, transparent, and genuine.

    • Hosts commit to offering real, clearly described opportunities in safe environments.

    • Participants engage respectfully and follow event guidelines.

    • Rescape Now reviews listings, verifies hosts, and responds to any concerns or reports.

    2. Host Verification

    Before posting events, new hosts complete a short onboarding form to confirm:
    ✅ Real contact information (name, phone, and email)
    ✅ A short description of their initiative and location
    ✅ Agreement with the Wellbeing & Safety Guidelines

    Once approved, hosts can list events freely. Trusted hosts with a strong record may receive “Verified Host” status, allowing faster publishing.

    3. Event Standards

    Each event must:

    • Be accurately described (time, place, cost, accessibility).

    • Occur in a safe, appropriate location (studio, venue, public space, or verified private location).

    • Avoid misleading claims or activities outside Rescape Now’s mission (no medical or financial promises).

    • State any physical requirements or risks clearly.

    • Respect cultural and community protocols, including Indigenous teachings and permissions.

    4. Inclusivity & Cultural Respect

    Rescape Now celebrates the diversity of British Columbia’s communities.
    We welcome events and hosts of all backgrounds and traditions, provided they:

    • Promote inclusion and wellbeing for all participants.

    • Honour Indigenous sovereignty, teachings, and cultural practices.

    • Avoid discrimination or harmful representations.

    5. Participant Safety & Transparency

    Participants can expect:

    • Visible host information and contact details.

    • Clear pricing and no surprise costs.

    • Public spaces or well-identified private venues.

    • A simple “Report this listing” option to flag issues.

    6. Moderation & Response

    • All new events are reviewed before going public.

    • Suspicious or incomplete listings are paused until verified.

    • Reports are investigated within 24–48 hours.

    • Repeat violations or safety concerns lead to removal from the platform.

    7. Our Promise

    Rescape Now commits to:

    • Maintaining a transparent, human-reviewed approval process.

    • Protecting user data and respecting privacy.

    • Updating this framework as the community grows.

    Together we create a culture of trust, care, and connection — where every experience contributes to our collective wellbeing.
