Get Real! Designing a Perfect Residency

We worked in small groups to think through what would need to be in place if we, as parents and carers, were to have a fully accessible residency. We used the following promts to start a conversation about ‘The Ultimate Time Out for Developing your Creavtive Practice’.

Get Real! Designing a Care Rider

We took time to think about what we personally need in order to make our our roles as artists and art workers viable. With reference to access statements we thought about the possible use of a ‘care rider’.

Could a ‘care rider’ be something you could use to help voice your needs and ensure that working relationships with organisations run more smoothly?
