Creative Consultations are tailor make innovative consultation sessions designed and facilitated by GSA in order for partners to gain both qualitative and quantitative information, through the achievement of interesting and useful responses from participants. Green Shoes Arts experience and skills in community arts means that we are well placed to shape such sessions and facilitate them successfully.

For example, in 2011 Green Shoes Arts have facilitated Creative Consultations in partnership with the Centre for Independent, Integrated and Inclusive Living on behalf of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and the Care Quality Commission. Working alongside Ciiil, we have designed exciting and creative workshops and activities that enable our partners to gain information from participants whilst also ensuring that  participants enjoy the process and have fun! We have facilitated sessions in various settings including Children’s Centres, Schools, Youth Groups and Older People’s Homes, gaining feedback on the personalisation agenda for older people and expected standards for dentists and doctors surgeries.
