	The [[~~Event_safety~~#Non-Contact\|non contact gesture]] means putting your hand in the air. If you do this then your character falls to 0 hits, and all other players should avoid hitting you if they possibly can. PD cannot guarantee that you will not be hit, but every effort will be made to avoid doing so by those around you.

	We are moving towards a standard whereby most in-character documentation produced by the plot team will be issued in a clear simple serif or plain handwriting fonts which should make them more accessible to more players.

	Over the past 5 years, alongside working hard on supporting out of character access needs, Profound Decisions and its volunteer teams have begun to increase the range of accessibility needs met by its various plots and the encounters and activities within them. This document aims to make it much clearer and easier to find the information you need to discover what provisions we have made and to understand how to request further adjustments to help you enjoy the game.

	This document was developed by volunteers for Profound Decisions: Kat Quatermass led the project with support from the plot, battle and ref teams. Consultancy was provided by Robin Tynan of Access: LARP. We are grateful for the advice given, this work would bigger gaps without it. We also acknowledge that there are some areas where we haven’t been able to move as far/fast as the advice recommended, but we intend to continue to try and improve levels of accessibility over time where possible.

	If you are looking to do a ritual that uses the regio but any of members of your ritual team would find the distance to the regio a significant problem, then you may arrange with a referee or with GOD to do the ritual elsewhere. We can ref the ritual at any suitable location that doesn't pose a problem. We can't move the props or the sound FX system or any of the regio equipment - but a referee can come to your camp or to an appropriate location and treat that as the regio if that is needed.

			===Signs and Portents===
			Signs and Portents is a ritual which gives each participant a vision. These are handed out by the referee on slips of paper to be read and then returned to the referee. If this is a significant problem the referee may read the vision text to the recipient who has the opportunity to make notes during the reading.

	No one should go on a battle, skirmish or encounter that is marked as “combat highly likely” if it is likely to be important to their safety to be able to use the “non-contact” gesture successfully. The level of combat planned for these types of activity is high and there is a high chance that those around might not see the gesture in time to avoid hitting someone. Those players wishing not to fight, and neither prepared or able to flee or take hits if a fight breaks out near them should '''not''' go on battles, skirmishes or quests marked combat highly likely.
