questions to ask
- What is their industry experience?
- What is their experience of working with young people?
- Talk to them about your timetable
- How many contact hours would they provide?
- Individuals and organisations can provide everything from a 2 hour session to providing a whole film (with very little involvement from the kids sometimes)
- Have they got a disclosure certificate?
- Will they be bringing kit? Very useful if you haven't got any!
- Is their kit any good?
- Ask to see a piece of work that they have created with other young people
