The Nitty Gritty

The important stuff behind Bee The Change — clear, protected and professional.

Bee The Change is more than a board game — it is a carefully developed consultation tool designed to help people speak, listen, reflect and influence change. Behind the board, cards, workshops and resources sits an important framework of legal documents, policies and protection measures. These are here to protect the game, the brand, the people using it, and the organisations investing in it. In simple terms, this page explains the documents that sit behind Bee The Change, what they cover, and what they mean for you when purchasing and using the game.
