Clean Break

We believe the arts and culture industry should be safe and accessible for people with lived experience of trauma. Clean Break’s award-winning trauma informed practice is at the heart of all our work and rooted in our extensive experience working creatively with women in the criminal justice system. For decades we have spearheaded responsible care practices for teams and audiences through our co-production partnerships in the creative industry.
