Verbatim Formula Sometimes Hug Goes

项目摘要

The Verbatim Formula (TVF) is an AHRC-funded participatory action research project based at Queen Mary University of London that brings together a range of partners from the children's care public sector, higher education and the arts to support young people entering and leaving the care of the state. Responding to the adoption into UK law of the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1992, that 'corporate parents' are legally obliged to give due regard to children's wishes and feelings in matters affecting them, the project aimed to explore the extent to which creative practice can support better listening by adult professionals.Using verbatim theatre, a form which requires care-ful listening and performance of recorded testimonies, TVF works with care-experienced young people as co-researchers, whose knowledge of care and education qualifies them as 'experts'. The project's 'Portable Testimony Service' gathers testimonies for 'pop-up' events in arts centres, social services' and universities' offices, and in policy fora. TVF invites meaningful, face-to-face dialogue between young people and adults, aiming to create attentive and spontaneous dialogue in the increasingly transactional life of education and care. As participatory action research it aims to empower and support its participants, building platforms from which to define gaps in provision, expose structural inequalities, and advocate for change.Since the project began in 2015, various indicators show that the care system is under ever greater pressure due to a long period of austerity. Increased numbers are entering care, and there are insufficient foster carers who can provide the support that is needed for vulnerable young people. In 2017-8, more than 6000 young people experienced unplanned endings to their placements in foster care. Such instability exacerbates looked-after children's well-documented vulnerability to mental health problems and jeopardises the continuity needed for their educational and life success. In spite of the statutory requirement to hear children's voices, an over emphasis on procedures and paperwork blocks effective communication and hinders the trusting relationships with both foster carers and social workers that children need to project a positive future.In the course of TVF's AHRC research period its young co-researchers repeatedly testified to the detrimental effects of transactional relationships with social workers, and the need for more loving foster care. As one 15-year-old told TVF, 'Young people who go into care have been through a lot. Sometimes a hug goes a long way'. Since the outbreak of Covid-19, questions of isolation and the importance of social contact have become even more evident. This follow-on project will deepen engagement with young people in applying TVF's practices to enable foster carers and social workers to understand the affective aspects of their practices within their professional roles and to consider the consequences of these for relationships. In a new partnership with socially engaged arts circus company Upswing, and sound artist Ian Dickinson, the TVF research team will work with young people, social workers and foster carers from Wandsworth and Manchester in creative workshops that integrate accessible physical trust activities with caring and careful practices of listening.A range of outputs will support the work of third sector partners Coram Voice, in listening to young people's voices in the development of good practice, and the Fostering Network in recruiting foster carers. These include a performance at Battersea Arts Centre and in the Manchester International Festival with audience interaction that will generate press coverage; a series of films based on young people's real life experiences that combat the stigmatisation of social care; digital training materials centring young people's advice; and an interactive workshop ready to be offered to UK Local Authorities.

逐字公式是一个由澳大利亚人权委员会资助的参与性行动研究项目，设在伦敦玛丽女王大学，汇集了来自儿童护理公共部门、高等教育和艺术的一系列合作伙伴，以支持进入和离开国家护理的年轻人。1989年联合国《儿童权利公约》于1992年通过成为英国法律，规定“企业家长”在影响儿童的事项上有法律义务适当考虑儿童的意愿和感受，该项目旨在探讨创造性实践在多大程度上有助于成人专业人员更好地倾听。在这种形式下，需要认真倾听和表演录制的证词，TVF与有护理经验的年轻人合作，作为共同研究人员，他们对护理和教育的了解使他们有资格成为“专家”。该项目的“便携式证词服务”为艺术中心、社会服务机构和大学办公室以及政策论坛的“弹出式”活动收集证词。TVF邀请年轻人和成年人之间进行有意义的面对面对话，旨在在日益交易的教育和护理生活中建立专注和自发的对话。作为参与式行动研究，该项目旨在增强参与者的能力，并为参与者提供支持，建立平台，以确定提供差距，揭露结构性不平等，并倡导变革。自2015年开始实施该项目以来，各种指标显示，由于长期紧缩，护理系统面临越来越大的压力。越来越多的人正在接受照料，而能够为弱势青年提供所需支助的寄养照料者不足。在2017-8年，超过6000名年轻人在寄养安置中经历了计划外的结局。这种不稳定加剧了被照顾儿童对心理健康问题的脆弱性，并危及他们教育和生活成功所需的连续性。尽管法律要求倾听儿童的声音，但过分强调程序和文书工作阻碍了有效的沟通，阻碍了儿童与寄养照顾者和社会工作者之间的信任关系，而这种信任关系是儿童规划积极未来所必需的。以及需要更多关爱的寄养服务正如一位15岁的年轻人告诉TVF的那样，“进入护理中心的年轻人经历了很多。有时候一个拥抱能让你走得更远。自2019冠状病毒病爆发以来，隔离问题和社会接触的重要性变得更加明显。这一后续项目将加深与年轻人的接触，应用TVF的做法，使寄养照料者和社会工作者能够了解他们在其专业角色中的做法的情感方面，并考虑这些做法对关系的影响。在与社会参与艺术马戏公司Upswing和声音艺术家Ian Dickinson的新合作中，TVF研究团队将与来自旺兹沃斯和曼彻斯特的年轻人，社会工作者和寄养照顾者合作，举办创意研讨会，将无障碍的身体信任活动与关怀和谨慎的照顾做法相结合。在发展良好做法方面听取年轻人的意见，以及在招募寄养照顾者方面建立寄养网络。其中包括在巴特西艺术中心和曼彻斯特国际艺术节上的表演，观众互动将引起新闻报道;一系列基于年轻人真实的生活经历的电影，以打击社会关怀的污名化;以年轻人的建议为中心的数字培训材料;以及准备向联合王国地方当局提供的互动研讨会。
