Acting Out Productions provides actors for a range of candidate assessment centres. Role-play is a vital component in selection processes where trainees for frontline local government services are appointed. We have gained a reputation for creativity, reliability , course development and candid feedback on candidates’ performances.

Among our clients are two Government backed projects we have worked with from the start of their programmes. We co-design and recommend real case studies, write and deliver practice scenarios to test candidates on integrity, understanding and practical abilities.

Over the last months we have been developing links with new clients across the UK, from police forces, government departments, special projects and specialist trainers, adding our unique role-play twist to a range of areas: Victim support, suspect interviewing, training and development for the police, criminal justice, HMP Prison Service, Mental Health NHS Trusts,  Accident investigators – air, marine, road, rail and more.

Police Now – delighted to be working with Police Now supporting their assessments for participants to join their 2 programmes: their National Graduate Leadership Programme and their National Detective Programme.

Think Ahead – fast tracking graduates and career changers into mental health social work. We began working with Think Ahead as they set up their assessment programme nearly a decade ago.

Unlocked (Graduates) – established in 2016 Unlocked aims to attract high-calibre graduate talent to work in the UK prison service focusing on rehabilitation. We were there at the beginning, creating scenarios that gave the programme a realistic edge as candidates are introduced to a ‘prison inmate’ and begin building a positive rapport.
