Creating Safety: child protection and youth arts
26th April 2010, 9.45am - 4pm, Theatre Royal Plymouth

Artsplan, the training and publications department of Artswork and in-house training provider for ENYAN (English National Youth Arts Network), is pleased to be delivering the one day course ‘Creating Safety’ on 26th April 2010 at Theatre Royal in Plymouth.

Artsplan is the largest provider of specialist youth arts training courses and publications in the UK and all training and publications are written and supported by experienced youth arts specialists, currently involved in direct project work with young people.

This one day course is essential training for anyone working within youth arts, but especially those using more physical art forms, such as dance and drama. Developed in conjunction with South East Dance this course compliments the Arts Council England “Keeping Arts Safe” guidelines developed with the NSPCC. The training will cover current child protection legislation in line with the requirements of the ISA and the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB), within the context of delivering a youth arts project and includes a “safe touch” section, exploring how child protection guidelines can be maintained within more physical art forms.

It will be of benefit to individuals and organisations looking to develop their own child protection policy and maintain standards of good practice, providing practical advice and guidelines to develop confidence and sensible structures around child protection issues within youth arts.

All participants will receive a certificate of attendance upon successful completion of the course and a wealth of practical resources. Prices, which include lunch and refreshments, range from £110 to £150, with limited bursaries available - please get in touch via the contact details below for the exact price. Please also remember that ENYAN members can request a 5% discount on all Artsplan publications and training!
