If something happens at an event — or around one — that makes you or someone else unsafe or uncomfortable, tell us. Attend has a confidential incident report form that goes directly to Hack Club HQ. The incident report form

​
How to report

  1. Click Report Incident in the top navigation. (It’s also linked from the Attend home page, so it works even if you can’t sign in.)
  2. If you’re signed in, your name and email are pre-filled; otherwise fill them in (plus a quick human-verification check). A phone number is required — the team uses it if they need more information or to send you updates on your case.
  3. Say what best describes you (attendee, parent, volunteer, …) and pick the event.
  4. Choose the incident type and how urgent it is, from S0 (happening right now: medical emergencies, fire, a missing participant) to S3 (something to follow up after the event). Use S0 sparingly — it literally rings the safeguarding team’s personal phones. The form has the full triage chart.
  5. Describe the incident in one line, then add notes — be as thorough as you can. You can attach up to 10 files (photos, screenshots) if they help.
  6. Submit report.
Medical emergency? Call 911 (or your local emergency number) and get the person help first. The form comes after.

What happens to your report

  • Your report is 100% confidential: it goes directly to Hack Club HQ’s safeguarding team and is not accessible to other Hack Club staff members.
  • The average response time is a few hours, and someone will follow up using the contact details you gave.
  • Questions about the process itself? You can reach out directly to [email protected].

Organizing an event?

If you help run an event, your event’s Incidents in the admin keeps a record for your team and can escalate to HQ from there. See Incidents: your log and Hack Club HQ.

​
When should I report?

When in doubt, report. Harassment, bullying, safety hazards, someone breaking the Code of Conduct, something that just felt wrong — the team would much rather hear about something small than miss something big. Reporting on behalf of someone else is also completely fine — file freely and candidly.
