For Productions

Accessible.Flexible.Child-centred.

Child Safety & Wellbeing begins before a minor ever walks onto a set or into a rehearsal room.

Good Ship works alongside production and creative teams to anticipate challenges, put practical safeguards in place and provide developmentally appropriate support for minors — at any stage of production.
