Bayley Turner joins DTC as our ongoing Intimacy & Consent Coordinator
Drawing from over 15 years' experience in the performing arts and education sectors, Bayley's work through Create Consent intersects best practices to respond to developing safety needs in the entertainment sector. The combination of interactive workshops, policy and documentation services, as well as intermittent creative solutions consulting contributes significantly to culture change at an individual, organisational and industry level. The long-term effects identified by participants have included improved communication, conflict reduction, and (best of all) a means to combat burnout and attrition. As our society evolves, these skills and tools are proving valuable to venues and audiences to make offerings more inclusive, more sustainable and more impactful on their lives outside the event-based interaction. Consent education is not often directed to adults, and not tailored to respond to the specific contexts of creative workplaces - that is where we are able to support the community.
