Reference for Denise Smith – Senior Chaperone for Children in Theatre.

Denise has worked extensively as a Senior Chaperone for children in theatre. Her professionalism, dedication, and depth of knowledge make her an outstanding asset to any production.

Denise is exceptional in every aspect of her role. She has an in-depth understanding of child licensing and the legal frameworks that govern working with young people in performance settings. Her ability to manage these responsibilities with precision and calm authority ensures that both the children and the production team are always in safe, compliant hands.

She is consistently professional in her dealings with producers, company members, parents, and - most importantly - the young performers themselves. She maintains a calm, approachable manner under pressure, and always brings a smile and a positive energy to every situation.

Her communication skills are second to none. She is clear, concise, and kind, ensuring that everyone involved feels informed and supported. Her scheduling and logistical coordination are meticulous, and she leads her chaperone teams with both humour and authority, earning their complete respect and commitment.

Denise always creates an environment that is safe, nurturing, and highly efficient. Her ability to balance the emotional and legal responsibilities of her role is a rare and invaluable quality in this industry.

I recommend her without hesitation for any production requiring a Senior Chaperone. She is, quite simply, brilliant at what she does.
