Safeguarding Questions for Working in the Arts
Safeguarding Questions for Working in the Arts is an online resource that emerged from reflective discussions between two experienced, socially engaged companies VDT and Playing ON Theatre Company. The resource encourages artists, facilitators, gatekeepers, producers, programmers, creative leaders and arts organisations to develop their approach to safeguarding and wellbeing within the planning, creation and delivery stages of projects, productions and programmes.
The Questions act as a series of prompts – for you to consider the range of issues at play and scrutinise options for supporting / safeguarding participants, the creative process and audience. We hope they will help you feel more able to navigate the complexities of arts practice with a wide and diverse range of communities.
This resource is used as a framework for delivery of VDT’s SAFEGUARDING QUESTIONS WORKING IN THE ARTS TRAINING DAY.
