**Participant Relations and Care at The Splat! Show**

We value the well-being and experience of everyone we work with and feature in our content. Below is an overview of our participant relations process, reflecting the practices and standards we’ve developed over our history.

**Regular Review and Feedback Integration**

Our participant relations processes are reviewed and updated regularly to maintain professionalism and ensure participant welfare. We welcome feedback from participants, which often shapes our ongoing improvements. We extend our thanks to all participants who have helped us refine our approach.

– **December 2022**: Introduction of a detailed onboarding procedure to enhance duty of care for participants.

**Casting Process and Participant Awareness**

Our participants are fully informed about The Splat! Show, its concept, and its audience. We encourage them to review our website thoroughly during casting, taking responsibility for understanding the nature of our content. In December 2022, we introduced an onboarding process to secure proof that participants have read all relevant materials. This ensures informed consent and allows participants to make an independent choice about participating.

Participants are regularly encouraged to ask questions, and we maintain an open environment during shoots to ensure comfort and clarity. Participants can view testimonials from prior collaborators by request. If issues arise, we promptly address them, even if it impacts us negatively.

**Privacy and Release Forms**

To protect privacy, we do not display participants’ full names without consent. Release forms are signed post-shoot, allowing participants control over the use of their content. If a participant wishes to withdraw consent after a release, we respect their decision. Forms are securely stored and made available to authorities if necessary.

**Participant Offboarding and Support**

Following each shoot, participants receive a support email with a dedicated contact channel for any further questions or concerns. We prioritize participant wellbeing and regularly assess our policies to maintain high standards of care.

**Safe Environment and Equipment**

The Gunge Tank and related equipment are maintained to prevent accidents. The environment is kept warm, and participants are briefed on health and safety before filming. Our gunge complies with industry standards, being both non-toxic and temperature-safe.

**Insurance and Health Incident Record**

We carry public liability insurance, and since 2014, there have been zero recorded health and safety incidents.

**Content Removal and Transparency**

We uphold participants’ rights to request content removal. All removal requests have been honored. To further ensure privacy, we’ve collaborated with the Internet Archive to prevent archiving of past content.

**Historical Content and Standards**

Since 2014, with new management, The Splat! Show has implemented a revised casting and production process that upholds enhanced standards. Content produced before 2014 is no longer for sale, although some are available on a limited basis on Retro Stream.
