This fact sheet outlines important safety considerations for truth-tellers, organisers and listeners. Thoughtful planning and a willingness to adapt as needed can help communities create truth-telling spaces that are safe, respectful and supportive for everyone.

The fact sheet describes what truth-telling is, why planning for safety is important and the key principles of safe truth-telling. It includes a truth-telling safety checklist.
