Clare Hammerton carried out the independent evaluation for the Ramps on the Moon consortium.

In this episode, Michèle asks her about the challenges of evaluation (especially in a multi-partner project) as well as talking about why it’s so important and powerful.

Clare puts the Ramps evaluation into the wider context of her work around empowerment and participation and explains why it’s so important to think carefully about how you’re going to capture the data you need.

Ben Wilson and Aisling Gallagher have been Ramps on the Moon Agents for Change at Sheffield and Theatre Royal Stratford East respectively. They are both also independent theatre-makers.

They give us a fascinating insight into what an Agent for Change does - and doesn’t do - to support organisational transformation, why being annoying, and why they have a trampoline instead of a desk.

Aisling celebrates the times things happen without their having any input and Ben tackles head on one of the key criticisms of Ramps on the Moon.

Michèle talks to David Bellwood - Head of Access at The National Theatre

Michèle and David discuss rigour around language and what it means for David to be a non-disabled person working in the area of ‘access’.

David throws down the gauntlet: can he and Michèle find a word that can usefully replace ‘access’ by the end of the episode?

They explore vulnerability and transparency as important values of his work.

Thank you to David for your time!
