YOUNG VIC ACCOUNTABILITY FLOWCHART<br />
The <strong>Accountability</strong> <strong>Flowchart</strong> aims to empower people to speak up when they experience or witness someone<br />
acting out of step with our values.<br />
It aims to put our anti-racist commitments into action. It demonstrates how the <strong>Young</strong> <strong>Vic</strong> will respond, and how<br />
we encourage all members of our community to respond when someone causes harm in our building.<br />
No matter who you are or who the person is who has caused harm, please call in, call on, or call out the<br />
behaviour so we collectively uphold our values and prioritise safety and wellbeing above all else at the <strong>Young</strong><br />
<strong>Vic</strong>.<br />
For Creators Program participants and facilitators<br />
Step 1. Have you experienced or witnessed someone acting out of step with <strong>Young</strong> <strong>Vic</strong> values?<br />
If someone has displayed racist, aggressive, insulting or any kind of discriminatory behaviour through words or<br />
actions, please call in, call on, or call out. You could choose to use a combination of all three in one<br />
interaction.<br />
Calling in means: Speak privately and calmly to the person who has caused harm.<br />
Ask: What did you mean by what you said / what you did?<br />
What was your intention when you said / did that?
It sounded like you just said _______. Is that really what you meant?<br />
Why did _______ cause a problem for you?<br />
Refer to Our Values in Practice and if the person fails to understand why their behaviour goes against <strong>Young</strong><br />
<strong>Vic</strong> values and fails to apologise, any theatre-maker at the <strong>Young</strong> <strong>Vic</strong> has the ability to escalate to a member of<br />
<strong>Young</strong> <strong>Vic</strong> staff (see below for who you can get in touch with and their contact details).<br />
Calling on means: If you have lived experience of discrimination you can call on a colleague to step in for you<br />
in order to support managing the behaviour.<br />
Ask: Can I call on you as a white colleague to take over from me while I step out?<br />
Ask: Can I call on you as a white colleague to please be available to support deescalating a situation?<br />
Ask: Can I ask you as a manager to call in/out the person who has caused harm?<br />
Any theatre-maker at the <strong>Young</strong> <strong>Vic</strong> has the ability to escalate to a member of <strong>Young</strong> <strong>Vic</strong> staff (see below for<br />
who you can get in touch with and their contact details).<br />
Calling out means: Speak publicly/in front of others to call out the behaviour of the person who has caused<br />
harm and show allyship.<br />
Say: I’m afraid your actions/words are not in keeping with <strong>Young</strong> <strong>Vic</strong> values and I feel obligated to tell<br />
you that your comment/action was not okay. It sounds like you are making some assumptions that we
need to unpack a bit… You may or may not realise this, but you are talking about me / my identity… I<br />
need to leave the room if you are going to continue to speak in that way…<br />
Step 2. How do we support the person who has experienced the racist or discriminatory behaviour?<br />
If you experienced the harm, you are entitled to take care of yourself (take some time out to go offsite, go to a<br />
quiet space, go for a walk). If you need to step out, please let the attending Creators Program staff member or<br />
the Participant Advocate know. Alternatively, you can contact us on 07503 755 802 (mobile) / 020 7922 2856<br />
(landline).<br />
If you witnessed the harm, please let the attending Creators Program staff member (see below for names and<br />
contacts) or the Participant Advocate know so they can check in on the person who experienced it and ensure<br />
they get the support they need to decompress or get further assistance.<br />
Step 3. If you want to follow up, document or escalate what happened, you can speak to members of the<br />
<strong>Young</strong> <strong>Vic</strong> team (See below for names and contacts).<br />
<strong>Young</strong> <strong>Vic</strong> Team<br />
