Benefits of Using Loudmouth

We love theatre in education, well we would, wouldn't we? It is a memorable and powerful way to bring issues to life and can be relevant, accessible and engaging way to learn. Skilled Actor / Facilitators can help students to unpick the issues raised in the drama and help them learn new ideas and terms, explore their own attitudes and values, listen to others and find out where to get support.

Pretty good, right?

We deliver around 1,000 sessions a year and reach over 100,000 participants. There is always demand for our work but there is one constant challenge for schools to get us in....money!

What Benefits Does Your School Get When You Book Loudmouth?

Claw back your planning time! Teachers can save time when planning their RHE / RSHE as they get access to over 100 free lesson plans on a range of different topics. They also get access to free video resources and interactive PowerPoint lessons that are designed to meet the government’s RSHE guidance.

Release the pressure! The approach can help relieve stress and pressure on staff. Some of the topics we cover are challenging and teachers may not know where to start. Our staff are knowledgeable, trained and experienced. Young people may feel more comfortable talking to different people initially but then have ways to continue discussions using the drama and workshops. Sometimes, just a different voice can help reinforce the messages staff have been giving. It can provide staff with time to observe their students in a different situation and see them in a new light.

Free place on staff RSHE training: We also provide training for staff with free places on our online RSHE training sessions and discounts on school based training.

Keep Parents Involved: The school get resources that they can use with parents and other staff to reassure them of the content, educate around the issues and equip them with skills and ideas on how to use the Loudmouth session in their discussions with young people.

Save Time and Money on Resources and Updates: Regular info and extra resources: Even if a school only books 1 session a year, they still get all of these benefits as well as monthly updates with news and information about key topics on RHE / RSHE and news about key topical issues and extra free resources.

Safeguarding expertise and support for your school: Using Loudmouth gives you loads of support around safeguarding. All of our delivery teams are Leve 3 safeguarding trained. Last year, we had 133 disclosures. Our staff know what to do and have clear procedures in place and will work with your safeguarding team. We have worked with schools to ensure that young people get the support they need to be safe and helped build students confidence to come forward earlier than they would have otherwise. Our sessions highlight where students can go to if they need support and reminds students of the role of the safeguarding team and the benefits of seeking help.

Address local issues in your community: Booking Loudmouth can help you address local issues and prevent young people from being vulnerable to crime, exploitation or abuse.

Increase your students’ Cultural Capital: Our work can be used in your approach and provision of cultural capital and support your work on Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE). It can help in your work to foster key behaviours and embed school culture.

Participation from even the quietest or reluctant students!: It can support your learning and reach students who may not usually take part. Staff often feedback about how someone who they thought wouldn't speak was involved throughout or those that they thought would be disruptive or play up were respectful and mature in the discussions.

We know that budgets are always a challenge for schools but we can help you get so much more for your money than you would get from most theatre in education companies. We have loads of solutions that can work for you including ways to keep the cost low with different formats, maximising the sessions in a day and if you are based a long way from us, there are even video and virtual options.

We would love to be your RHE / RSHE partner and help you to get the most out of your investment and commitment to Loudmouth.
