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(TVF)是一个由AHRC资助的参与性行动研究项目，总部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，以支持年轻人进入和离开国家护理。1992年，英国通过了1989年联合国《儿童权利公约》，该法律规定，在影响儿童的事情上，公司父母有法律义务适当考虑儿童的意愿和感受。该项目旨在探索创造性实践在多大程度上可以支持成人专业人员更好地倾听。TVF使用逐字逐句的戏剧形式，这种形式需要仔细倾听和播放录音证词，TVF与有护理经验的年轻人作为联合研究员合作，他们在护理和教育方面的知识使他们有资格成为“专家”。该项目的“便携证言服务”为艺术中心、社会服务机构、大学办公室以及政策论坛的“弹出式”活动收集证言。TVF邀请年轻人和成年人进行有意义的面对面对话，目的是在日益频繁的教育和护理生活中创造专注和自发的对话。作为参与性行动研究，该项目旨在增强和支持参与者的能力，建立平台，以确定提供方面的差距，揭露结构性不平等，并倡导变革。自2015年该项目开始以来，各种指标显示，由于长期紧缩，护理系统面临着越来越大的压力。越来越多的人进入照料中心，寄养照料者不足，他们能够为脆弱的年轻人提供所需的支持。在2017-2008年，超过6000名年轻人经历了寄养家庭的意外结局。这种不稳定加剧了受照顾儿童对心理健康问题的脆弱性，并危及他们在教育和生活中取得成功所需的连续性。尽管法律要求倾听儿童的声音，但过度强调程序和文书工作阻碍了有效的沟通，并阻碍了与寄养照顾者和社会工作者的信任关系，而儿童需要寄养照顾者和社会工作者来投射积极的未来。在TVF AHRC的研究过程中，其年轻的合作研究人员一再证明，与社会工作者的交易性关系的有害影响，以及更多关爱寄养的必要性。正如一位15岁的孩子告诉TVF的那样，“进入托儿所的年轻人经历了很多。有时一个拥抱会带来很大的帮助。”自新冠肺炎爆发以来，孤立的问题和社交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，使他们能够应用TVF的做法，使寄养照顾者和社会工作者能够了解他们的做法在其专业角色中的情感方面，并考虑这些做法对人际关系的影响。在与社会参与的艺术马戏团公司Upswing和声音艺术家Ian Dickinson的新伙伴关系中，TVF研究团队将与来自旺兹沃斯和曼彻斯特的年轻人、社会工作者和寄养人合作，在创意工作坊中将无障碍的身体信任活动与关怀和仔细倾听的做法结合起来。一系列成果将支持第三部门合作伙伴Coram Voice的工作，在制定良好做法方面倾听年轻人的声音，以及养育网络在招募寄养人方面的工作。其中包括在巴特西艺术中心和曼彻斯特国际艺术节与观众互动的表演，这将产生新闻报道；基于年轻人的真实生活经历的一系列电影，与社会关怀的污名化作斗争；以年轻人的建议为中心的数字培训材料；以及准备提供给英国地方当局的互动研讨会。
