It has been a joy working with Shonagh both at The Old Vic and the National Theatre. Displaying a sensitive and collaborative working style, Shonagh establishes an immediate rapport with key staff which enables consensus driven cultural change. She has provided us with training programmes for new and established staff, advice on topical and complex issues, a sounding board for colleagues, and been a working guide on inclusion and belonging to further education within the workforce in the broadest sense. Staff feedback on training was extremely positive and has resulted in a clearer understanding about the inclusive community that we all want to foster in theatre.
