Brixham Theatre has recently taken on a new safeguarding team under the leadership of former trustee Laura Jury, who has a wealth of experience as an actor, teacher and running a touring theatre company.
Laura says: ‘It is imperative that the theatre is a safe, welcoming place for all volunteers, creatives and audience to come and share in the joy of theatre-based arts & culture, regardless of previous experience, ethnicity, any disability, age, gender or background, and the role of the new safeguarding team is to ensure that. Safeguarding relates to both physical and psychological wellbeing, ensuring that there are no opportunities for any form of abuse, bullying or other negative behaviour. This role focusses on our volunteers at Brixham Theatre, but will also be available to liaise as needed with the safeguarding staff with visiting acts and productions.
