This year, in partnership with our Welfare Provider our Truckin’ Guardians will be on site offering a safe space that will encourage Truck’s festival-goers to share in our festival ethos, of not only reducing but eradicating sexual assault and harrasment within live events.
Visit the Truckin’ Guardians tent this year to join in with educational sessions, learn more about how to be an active bystander and share knowledge with experienced and trained staff. Truck will also provide access to helplines, resources and on-site safe spaces for additional support and disclosures should an incident occur.
Our aim is to make Truck Festival a safe and inclusive space that invites everyone – regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality or ability to join the party at Hill Farm. Our fans and the community we have grown make Truck the festival it is today and we ask all festival goers to follow our Truck Ethos at all times.
Our Truckin’ Guardians will be easy to spot across the festival site wearing bright pink T-shirts. This wonderful bunch are on hand to ensure that all festival goers feel supported by trained volunteers who can intervene safely or provide support in case of an incident. As active bystanders Truckin’ Guardians are trained to approach situations in a non-inflammatory way and provide practical support linking to our on site provision.
The welfare team also care for lost & found children; and lost property.

We are committed to promoting and upholding the best practice to address incidents of sexual assault or harassment. We have a zero tolerance policy towards any kind of sexual harassment or assault and take this issue extremely seriously within our planning and procedures this includes:
Alongside the Association of Independent Festivals (AIF), we will be supporting the Safer Spaces campaign and Charter of Best Practice. You can find out more information here. The campaign encourages festival goers to play an active role in promoting safety, with three key messages:
Be an Active Bystander:
An Active Bystander is someone who responds effectively to harmful behaviour and provides support.
The 5 Ds of how to be an active bystander:
DIRECT – directly intervene in the situation
DISTRACT – take an indirect approach to deescalate the situation and interrupt what is happening
DELEGATE – get help from someone else to intervene
DOCUMENT – the situation as it is happening
DELAY – after the incident has happened check in with the person who was harmed.
Zero-Tolerance to Assault & Harassment
It’s important to remember that sexual violence is ALWAYS the fault of the perpetrator or perpetrators. If you’ve seen sexual violence happening before and either couldn’t or didn’t act, please know that you are not to blame.
If you or any of your friends experience any kind of sexual assault or harassment you should report it immediately and know that it will be taken very seriously by police and event organisers.
Consent
Consent means agreeing to do something. When it comes to sex, this means someone agreeing to take part in a sexual activity. Any form of sexual contact without consent is illegal whatever the age of the people involved. If you do not give consent and a person still engages in a sexual act, this is sexual assault or rape. Remember you shouldn’t ever feel pressured into any kind of sexual activity. It’s ok to say no or change your mind.
