EYEWITNESS THEATRE COMPANY
Why Theatre
USING THEATRE IN INTER-AGENCY TRAINING
"The value of theatre for people working with children is that it gets different types of professionals working together and helps them change their perceptions about the value of inter-departmental communications."BARNADOS
Eyewitness has developed a unique brand of training that achieves a number of
specific learning outcomes using a style that is engaging and thought provoking.
The child protection modules are especially structured to employ drama
techniques to enhance not just the learning process but also to promote
the importance of inter - agency communication and collaboration.We actively promote amongst profesionals a belief that working together is
the best way to promote families and protect children.The impact of a performance evokes a sharper learning experience, a wider
platform for constructive debate and the opportunity for greater focus on
recommendations and improved practice.The training is delivered using a blend of theatre and enquiry based learning
techniques.
We tend to use task - based work packs rather than OHP's Power point or
flip charts.The learning outcomes are realised in a non-threatening environment.
Our performances help people discover without feeling intimidated.
There is no role play or audience participation in our modules
Inter - agency training can be a highly effective way of promoting a common and shared understanding of the respective roles and responsibilities of the different professionals and can contribute to effective working relationships.
WORKING TOGETHER TO SAFEGUARD CHILDREN
All our performers have been especially trained and are sensitive to the
roles and responsibilities of Child Protection professionals.
Our facilitators are practising Child Protection Professionals
