REBECCA THOMPSON BA (Hons) LLAM (Hons)
Rebecca graduated from Bristol University with a Joint Honours Degree in English and Drama.
On graduating, she worked for BBC Radio Four’s Drama Department, reading and assessing
new scripts and also researching Radio Four Documentaries. After further journalism and
corporate work, Rebecca studied for her Licentiate Teacher’s Diploma at the London Academy

She has been teaching Speech and Drama privately and in schools for over 15 years; she was
Head of the drama department at a preparatory school for over ten years. Rebecca now runs a
thriving Speech and Drama practice from her home in Bristol, teaching both children and adults.
Additionally a voice and presentation skills coach in the region, Rebecca teaches in private and
state schools, colleges and businesses. Rebecca has been actively involved in theatre in the
South West and is an Adjudicator for the Rose Bowl.
Rebecca loves teaching Speech and Drama, giving students the opportunity to grow in
confidence and expertise in their vocal skills. A festival experience provides a supportive
environment for the children to develop these skills further.

Thornbury Arts Festival Eisteddfod.
Policy to protect children and vulnerable adults.
Introduction; The purpose of the Eisteddfod is to provide opportunities for children and young
people to perform music, speech and drama in a friendly, safe environment, where professional
adjudicators will offer feed back to promote the artistic development and education of those
taking part. It is essential that all participants are protected, as far as possible, from the
possibility of abuse during the Eisteddfod – hence this policy.
Who are the subjects of this policy? The intention is to provide a safe environment for all
children under 18 who take part or are in the audience. This of course means children of any
ethnic group or with any disability. Parents/teachers are asked to inform the organisers of any
provision that should be made for those with special needs, in advance of the events. The
policy also covers any vulnerable adults who attend the Eisteddfod and whose needs for
protection have been notified to the organisers before the events. The organisers cannot take
responsibility for any special needs of which they have not had prior notice.
Where are the Eisteddfod events held? This programme indicates that the classes will be
held either in a private hall or in Thornbury Parish church. A risk assessment is conducted of
premises used by the Eisteddfod.
The People who act as Stewards at the Eisteddfod. All are volunteers and are local people.
Each will wear a badge to identify themselves. The organisers have contact details for them all.
At every Eisteddfod event there will be at least one volunteer organiser whose details have
been checked and cleared by the Criminal Records Bureau (a CRB check). It is the
responsibility of this person to ensure that the entrance doors and toilet areas are constantly
watched and any irregular presence is challenged. All stewards will refer any complaint by or
about a child’s or vulnerable adult’s safety to the steward who has been CRB checked.. Such
complaints will all be treated seriously, documented and dated. Any allegations of abuse will
be reported to the appropriate officer of the South Gloucestershire Council. Thereafter, the
Eisteddfod organisers will follow the procedures required by the local authority, which may
include contact with the police.
Responsibilities of Parents and Guardians. All parents and guardians must ensure that their
child (if aged under 18 years) is accompanied and adequately supervised by themselves, a
teacher or some other adult who stays in the building until the child leaves. This is an absolute
requirement of the organisers. By allowing a child to take part in any of the Eisteddfod classes
the parent or guardian is assumed to have accepted this responsibility and taken steps to put it
into effect. The organisers will assume that, by sending this programme to each family whose
child/children have sent in entry forms, their parents are accepting responsibility, if their
child/children perform at the Eisteddfod. For those to whom the programme is sent via teachers,
the organisers will require the teacher to confirm that this responsibility has been made known
to the parents involved.
Dressing and Changing rooms and toilets. The entrance to these facilities will be supervised
by Eisteddfod stewards. The parent/teacher/responsible adult looking after each child will have
to supervise their child once inside these facilities. This means that this supervisor must be of
the same sex as the child.
The Eisteddfod stewards will not be responsible for supervision inside these areas, although
they will check the entrances to them.
5
Audio and Video recordings. Sadly we cannot allow any audio or visual recordings to be
made by parents, friends or teachers during the Eisteddfod.
We may have a Festival or press photographer present and he/she will only take pictures/ make
recordings where the parents of the child concerned have signed a form to say they have no
objections.
Legislation and Guidance which underpins this policy; The Children Acts 1989 and 2004;
the Police Act 1997; the Data Protection Act 1998; the Human Rights Act 1998; the Protection
of Children Act 1999; The Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000; the vulnerable Groups
Act 2006.
The names of the organisers and the venues for the Eisteddfod can be found at the front of this
programme.
