Ethical Considerations

Sustainability
Use of paper plates over plastic for food table.
Use of natural or recycled materials in play spaces where possible.
Dietary Considerations
Will I have guests attending who have religious or ethical dietary requirements? E.g. - Halal, vegetarian.
Will the provided food promote healthy diet choices?
Inclusion
Financial Accessibility- Will families from a diverse range of socioeconomic backgrounds be able to participate?

Subtopic

LGBTQI Families- Do the planned activities in any way inhibit the participation of LGBTQI families?
Accessibility- Does the venue have wheel chair access, including in the bathroom?
