Partner
I'm an exhibitor, do I need to provide a risk assessment?
Yes. You will either need to confirm that the risks on our general risk assessment apply, or, if you will run activities that are not covered, you must add those risks with ratings and mitigations. See the Risk tab above.
Can I bring additional volunteers from my company?
Is there parking available?
The Guildhall does not have a public car park. It is best to travel by public transport. Event collateral can be delivered to The Guildhall, see the Deliveries tab above.
As an exhibitor, do I need to be DBS checked?
No. There are safeguarding rules and procedures that are described on the Safeguarding tab above. You will also be given a number for the festival’s safeguarding contact.
Can my company sponsor the festival?
Representation Matters
Part of inspiring and supporting young people to learn and be excited about your industry is to show them that people who look like them and have their interests are already achieving in industry.
The best way to showcase this is to have a selection of volunteers from your company that connect with the young attendees. That might include:
Different ages. There is value in both the insights of an experienced team member and the recent experiences of a younger team member.
Different backgrounds, ethnicities, heritage, and protected characteristics. London’s people are diverse and so are the attendees at the festival. Aim to represent a variety. You may also choose to challenge stereotypes within your industry.
Different routes to employment. To support young people to make an informed choice about entry and progression routes, consider involving team members that are on differing career journeys. For example, the Level 3 apprentice who is now on the leadership pathway, or the person with a ‘squiggly career’ or who made a pivot – this is valuable insight.
