CBBC's The Dumping Ground
I have worked on 12 Series of The Dumping Ground as Tutor and on 1 Series (13) as Chaperone.
CBBC's The Dumping Ground is a long running children's drama that has just wrapped on it's 13th series. I have been involved in some part in all of them as either Tutor or Chaperone.
During series 11 & 12 I was head tutor, overseeing the tuition of a large cohort of cast and managing an additional tutor. Series 13 saw me undertake the role of chaperone and stand in for the Head Chaperone in their absence, completing reports, arranging transport and liaising with catering.
During my time as tutor I have developed a culture in the tutor room of support and kindness that young cast value. They appreciate the safe space I have cultivated and work hard in tuition, this is evidenced by the SATs and GCSE results our young cast achieve. This shows that their time on set away from school is not detrimental to their education. This is a fundamental principle of granting a licence.
I work closely across departments to ensure that production needs are met as well as the legal requirements and the needs of the young cast member. Please see my recommendations for feedback from parents of cast.
