Recommendation 2

2 Deferred Paragraph: 12

Outdoor music festivals require higher safeguarding standards for their younger, more vulnerable attendees.

Conclusion
We believe that a more formal and higher standard is required for outdoor music festivals owing to the comparatively younger age of festival-goers and the additional vulnerability that arises from their camping over at such festivals.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government's response focused on improving data collection and victim support for spiking incidents, including establishing a new NPCC reporting mechanism, deflecting from the recommendation for a more formal and higher standard of safeguarding at outdoor music festivals.
