1.0 Introduction
1.1 Aim and Purpose
This report has been compiled in response to feedback from the WMP evaluation questionnaires which were
distributed to delegates of the production of ‘Mum can you lend me £20’ by DrugFAM and commissioned by
Inspector 2626 Deborah Walker of West Midlands Police Drug Interventions Programme.
The production was attended by a mixed audience including Custody Staff, Police Officers, PCSO’s, Treatment
Workers, DIP staff, Arrest Referral Workers, Probation and Prison Workers.
1.2 Methodology
The results are compiled based on 134 responses to the questionnaires. This is not the true number of people
who actually attended. Of the 170 who were invited, it is estimated (some did not sign the signing in register
when they entered the building) 150 turned up for the two shows that were held on the 8th April.
The evaluation survey was designed to get the immediate response from the delegates after the play had ended
and consisted of 11 Questions asking for their immediate views and attitudes once the play had ended. The
benefit of this type of questioning is that it will reduce contamination of data allowing an accurate reflection of
their thoughts.
The downside to this is that there is no way of analysing their long term views so establishing behaviour change
would require further research at a later date. Also, there is the possibility that data will not be completed on the
questionnaire so it will not give true picture of everyone’s thought but rather an overall opinion from those who
took the time to complete the questionnaire. To this end, 48 people who attended and completed the
questionnaire did not complete the rear of the form.
The results were compiled from a feedback form using a various methods including Likert scale, Yes / No
answers and free text fields delegates to write in their preferred comments. This allowed for both open and
closed questioning.
The findings are summative rather than formative as the show is produced elsewhere so WMP would not be
able to change it for the future. The results are presented in this report using scales that have been compiled
using an Excel spreadsheet and the free text comments were added to Microsoft Word. Due to the number of
responses, results were analysed in batches then merged together to form one result.
The Questionnaire is attached as Appendix 1
2.0 Findings

2.6 Question 6 : What did you like the least about this production?
Following on from Question 4, this question invited responders to write in the free text field what they least
enjoyed the most about this production. A large number simply entered ’nothing’ suggesting they did not find
anything they didn’t like, others left it blank. The full list can be found in Appendix 2. The key comments made
are highlighted below :

Different role of key worker and probation, depicted as same when they are different

Not sure about the key worker hugging the client

Didn’t like the character coming off drugs and what they go through (harrowing rather than poor acting)

The message that cigarettes and cannabis can lead to heroin made me feel uncomfortable as it can
give the impression all softer drugs lead to harder use

It was upsetting

Could cause guilt for recovering addicts

Basic drug awareness could complement this very well

The ending was a little drawn out

Not sure if this is so relevant these days due to the changing drug markets on the streets
2.7 Question 7 : Do you feel that this is a more impactive way of learning as opposed to
a classroom input?
This question was designed to establish if watching a production is an effective way of learning. Responders
were invited to write in their thoughts in the free text area. Not all responders completed this question. As with
the other questions, the full list of answers can be found in Appendix 2.
39 responders simply put ‘yes’ they would prefer to learn in this way but others elaborated on their answers and
the key answers are presented below :

Visual learning was very impactive and lifelike

A classroom could not have as much power as this performance
Restricted
Serving our communities, protecting them from harm
9

It is more lifelike / realistic / emotional

I felt all the emotions with the characters and it was compelling all the way through

Use of drama was perfect

Yes but it could benefit from other services so audience can hear what options are available locally

Yes it touches everyone

Yes, feel strongly that this should go to secondary schools and youth groups

Yes, it was more hard hitting

Powerful to see how it affected the family
Three responders did not feel that this was an effective way of learning and explained their reasoning :

No, early intervention is important.

It was useful but don’t feel it is relevant to those with no involvement in heroin / crack use given the
extreme nature of these addictions

I deliver classroom inputs so no, but I can see a place for it
2.8 Question 8 : As a result of seeing this play, do you feel it has had an impact on how
you see the effects of drugs on family / community life?
This question was used to invite responders to think about the immediate impact of the show and ask if it has
readjusted their current thinking. Not everyone completed this question, some simply put ‘Yes’ (31) or ‘No’ (9)
whilst others elaborated. The full list of Answers can be found in Appendix 2 and the key findings are listed
below :

Certainly made me realise impact on families which is not so important in my current role (5 people)

Shows how it affects everyone

Very hard hitting

More services are needed to support families (4 people)

Yes, it wants me to help the families of addicts more

2.10 Question 10 : Do you feel that there is anything you can do to improve the service
you offer as a result of seeing this play?
This question again was designed to test attitudes and behaviour as a result of seeing the play, long term
evaluation would have to be carried out to see if there would be any change. Due not everyone completing the
rear of the form, not everyone answered this question. The key responses are listed below and the entire list
can be found in Appendix 2 :

Could be useful to offer service from probation to offer further support to families of drug users

Bringing production to our prison / service

Will attempt to offer a more interactive service for family of affected users 6 people


We do family support in Coventry

No we are already aware but more needs to be done to support families and siblings (3 responders
from same service)

There was however a comment made

‘I think it would be worth pointing out that although this family paid for rehab, there are a plethora of
rehab units across the country that are paid for by local authorities and are equal, if not better’ (although
at the time it was happening, such services were not widely available)

3.0 Conclusion
The first conclusion that can be drawn from this was that both the production and the stalls that were put up on
the day were a success. The Cast, Stall Holders, DIP staff, especially Elizabeth Burton-Phillips and Inspector
Walker can all take credit for making the day a success.
Initially, 170 people were listed to attend from a potential 200. The seating at Tally Ho was increased at the last
minute in case there were any late attendees. From the 170, some didn’t turn up and this was reflected by some
empty seats in the later part of the afternoon. It was disappointing that the turnout from WMP was quite low,
even though it was advertised out a few months prior to the event taking place.
The vast majority of responders clearly stated that the production was excellent, as was the cast and the
relevance to their roles. There was a mixed reaction to whether it increased awareness and understanding and
this can be drawn from the nature of the audience. It was mainly made up of professionals from partner
agencies who are already experienced in the fields of drug misuse and treatment, With that said, it served as a
timely reminder that families are often the victims of drug misuse as well as the addict.
Many of the comments made about what was the most enjoyable included that it was an impactive, hard hitting
and moving story, later feedback suggests that this could never be created in a classroom or web based training
course. A number of responders commented on certain cast members stating that they were realistic and true to
life. One of the aims of bringing this production to West Midlands Police was to show that drugs can affect
families and parents, the show certainly achieved that aim and this too was commented by a number of
responders.
There were a few developmental points about the show which the producers could consider, perhaps one or two
inconsistencies that were overlooked but on the whole, the feedback was that it was in fact a superb production.
When it could be considered to be run on a smaller budget, it achieved its objectives in a powerful and
constructive way. Many people commented on it being emotional and having to fight back tears further
illustrates this point.
There was mixed reactions to whether it will make a difference. Some agencies commented that they already do
family support workshops but some did also comment that this production offered a timely reminder of the
importance to support families. Again, this is down to the work that the agencies do rather than the production
itself. Drug Treatment has evolved a great deal since the time that this actually happened.
Overall the production was rated as excellent and all but 1 person who responded (to the rear of the
Questionnaire) stated that they would in fact recommend it to their colleagues. It would certainly be valuable to
Custody Staff and Police Officers who deal with drug misusers on a day to day basis.
It is recommended that if funding was available to do so, WMP commission this play again and target it to a
much wider audience, perhaps running it over a number of shows to maximise the numbers who can attend. It
would certainly challenge perception of drug misuse.
Perhaps the comments emailed to me at a later date made by a Custody Sgt from West Midlands Police sums
up the conclusion :

Keith,
I don't know who organised this event but I just wanted to say that it was the most powerful, effective and
relevant training event I have ever attended.
I decided to attend the event on my rest day and I have to admit that whilst I was en-route I was wondering why
I was bothering and thinking of 101 other things I could be doing!!!!
However the play was excellent and has both challenged my pre-conceptions surrounding drug users and also
the impact it has on their wider family as a whole. I’m not one that usually gets emotional but I like many others
in the audience found the story to be incredibly emotive and moving and brought home the fact that drugs
effects more than just the user.
There was a lot of I have taken from this that I can use in my day to day work as a custody sergeant and I only
wish there had been more custody staff there as I feel it would have really benefited everybody. I believe
sometimes as a police service we need to look beyond the drug user and realise that not only are they victims of
their own circumstances and addiction but that there is a mother such as Elizabeth and the wider family who
become entangled and trapped by the circumstances and criminality.
Can you please forward this to whoever organised the day and express my thanks for giving me a broader
perspective.

4.0 Appendix
Appendix 1 : Questionaire Attached (at end)
Appendix 2 : Full answers to questions
Question 5
The honesty, it didn’t hold back, made it real x 2, people can relate to the cast. Seeing effect on home / family x
2, powerful as I didn’t not know what it was. Realism and emotion in the performance x 2. Effective. Families are
sadly often ignored x 2. Realistic. The way heroin affects the body. Refreshing to see story from both sides.
Dramatic impact. The drug dealer was realistic and superb - a brilliant performance. The reality of the issues
portrayed. Offered a good insight into drug use. All of it. Highlighted the need to engage families, or those
supporting drug users which is often forgotten x 4. Constant love of mother, how easy it was for father to
distance himself, personification of heroin (lady heroin). I felt it shows how heroin has a hold on people.
Lady heroin x 2 - very powerful, actors played their roles very well, the photos and personal viewpoints were
very poignant, very personal and emotional, realism x 2, shows how recovery takes time. Very powerful seeing
things from different perspectives, seeing impact on family. Content and acting, - very realistic and well thought
out. Hard hitting. A couple of believable performances that draw you into the story. Don’t often hear about
family. Made some of the issues around drug use more real. Very hard hitting and shows what can happen to a
family x 4. Seeing how the mother felt. The honesty of it. Excellent cast - especially the heroin fairy. The true
story evolves more intense emotion as well as the harsh realities. Use of music, acting etc, lady heroin in
particular was brilliant. Highlighted the motivational aspect to change. The dealer. Showed the bigger picture.
Good cast, dealer and lady heroin stood out. Very impactive and hit message home. In prison, you see families
on visiting days, this adds a new dimension to my thinking. The small cast and location. It felt intimate. Realism,
cast captured in movement, delivering the essence of human addiction to substance misuse.
Content, amazing acting, whole thing from the family perspective x 2. The harsh message. The realisation of the
impact on the family. Hard hitting and emotional with a fantastic cast. Informative. Reality, emotion and different
points of view. Very realistic. The effect on the family over a number of years - we only see shorter term impact.
The impact on the mother. Gives a good insight into those who don’t have much understanding. Shows stress
and trauma of families and that they should seek help instead of trying to go alone. Made me realise families do
not always ask for support. It was personal to me which also showed the importance of offering support.
Extremely powerful x 2. The story portrayal. Real life- real story.
The ending showing pictures of recovery with the soundtrack was very poignant x 2. Impactive way of teaching
people about drug culture and impact on families. It was an honest account of what can happen. Shows how
heroin can ruin lives. Factual background. Shows effects on family and their struggles. Accurate x 2. Cast,
excellent actors. How personal it was. Very good actors - how did they remember all the lines!! The journey Nick
went through to hit rock bottom and realise the realness of his actions. Seeing the effects on Simon’s life was
Restricted

very powerful. The whole thing was intense. Impact of the true story from each individual’s perspective.
Grittiness of the characters and it being a true story. It was all very engaging.
The fact that it was very realistic x 2. Seeing the effects on the family x 2. Seeing heroin as a femme fatal. Use
of music and drama. It being a true story. The heroin girl was very good x 2. Gave out a great message to give
me a better understanding. Powerfully performed by the cast who played Simon / Nick and the drug dealer.
Seeing heroin portrayed as a person. Imapctive and informative. The reality of it all. The acting. Very impactive
and emotive. The play covered all of the issues around drug misuse. The production was very good.
All of it. The reality of the message. It was a great portrayal of an emotive subject. Realistic cast. Drug
knowledge. It was a story of hope. Emotion - insight into how families really feel and how it takes over their lives.
It was graphic and shows true addiction. The acting x 2. The cast were great, especially Simon / Nick who was
fantastic. The description of dependency x 2. Seeing the family perspective
Question 6
Different role of key worker and probation, depicted as same when they are different. Some of the acting. The
ending was a little drawn out, not sure about the key working hugging the client.
Brought back terrible memories. Lady heroin - she was too distracting, she should have been faceless, silent
and still. Some overacting in places. Nothing, it was all fabulous
Didn’t like the character coming off drugs and what they go through (harrowing rather than poor acting). The
message that cigarettes and cannabis can lead to heroin made me feel uncomfortable as it can give the
impression all softer drugs lead to harder use. Basic drug awareness could complement this very well.
Would like to have seen more about the psychological impact and chaotic lifestyle. A little long. The music /
media could have been slicker.
The stage. It was upsetting x 2. May cause guilt for recovering addicts. Not sure if this is so relevant these days
due to the changing drug markets on the streets
Question 7
No : No, early intervention is important. It was useful but don’t feel it is relevant to those with no involvement in
heroin / crack use given the extreme nature of these addictions. I deliver classroom inputs but can see a place
for it.
Visual learning was very impactive and lifelike, seen importance of family, classroom could not have as much
power as this performance, yes, appears more lifelike, yes, very moving, reinforced understanding, left me with
something to think about.
Yes, captivating. Definitely. Yes I felt all the emotions with the characters and it was compelling all the way
through. Absolutely, very engaging. Very powerful stuff. Good for service users to learn impacts on family. Yes
to the right audience. Enjoyed this style of learning. More realistic.
Restricted

16
Most definitely x 5. Yes, you can relate to the emotions. Use of drama was perfect. Yes but it could benefit from
other services so audience can hear what options are available locally. Yes, feel strongly that this should go to
secondary schools and youth groups. Very much so. Visual display is easier to understand.
Yes it touches everyone. Yes but not suited to a younger audience. Shows effects of all involved. Much better.
Definitely. Added a sense of realness. More engaging. Yes, far more interesting.
Yes, it was more hard hitting. Powerful to see how it affected the family. Yes it keeps attention. Yes 100%! Much
more impact. Definitely. Able to interact rather than just read. Yes, it was visual reality. Absolutely. Hits the
message home more.
Question 8
No : Needs greater dissemination - focus on individuals in family. Not really, I have read the book but the play is
more prominent, im a drug worker so know already x 4. It was useful but don’t feel it is relevant to those with no
involvement in heroin / crack use given the extreme nature of these addictions. I deliver classroom inputs but
can see a place for it. Not really as a service provider we try to support individuals and families although this is
not always easy.
Certainly made me realise impact on families which is not so important in my current role (x5), yes it shows how
it affects everyone, yes, it was very hard-hitting, not something I’ve considered before, yes because you can
really relate the characters, show . Yes, more services are needed to support families x 3, seeing the effects on
families and how they want helping. Yes, normally only think of the user and not the family. More family support
is needed. Really opened my eyes. Too many victims. Yes - family effects and offer more advice to addicts and
their families x 3. Families rarely get a mention. Yes, raises questions about where the statutory agencies were
in this. You can feel it in the hearts of those hurting. Yes, it wants me to help the families of addicts more. Have
a clearer understanding of effects on families. Yes, it hits home the damage caused. Yes it touches everyone.
Drama made it real. Enforces what we already know. Seeing how the amount of drugs used affects everyone,
not just the user. Only sees how it affects the user in out work x 2. The family gave me something to think about.
It portrayed the effects on a family very well. Meeting the people involved (Elizabeth). Yes, families are often
forgotten. Yes, it has given a positive message. Yes, the effects on the family. Very much so. Only deal with
clients so this was a valuable input.
Question 10
No : we do family support in Coventry. No we are already aware but more needs to be done to support families
and siblings x 3
Could be useful to offer service from probation to offer further support to families of drug users, yes offer
drugFAM service. Yes, great awareness of support networks, it’s not just about services / treatments. Will try
and focus more on families as well as client x 3
Offer play to clients perhaps, would be great for police led princes trust teams to attend. Involve work with
families more. Yes we do this in Coventry. Bringing production to our prison. Will attempt to offer a more

17
interactive service for family of affected users x 4. More family involvment x 2. Good reminder of the clients view
as opposed to endless paperwork and constant concern about targets. Yes more awareness of family orientated
services. We already do this but need to advertise it more. Need to promote drugFAM more x 2. Will consider
spending time talking to family of addicts x 3. Offer more support to families. Stable clients in Birmingham could
benefit from seeing this. Think more of family support. Believe the people I work with. See if we can use this
play for our agency x 2. Reminds me of the importance to engage with family. Offer more support to families.
Yes, I have a better awareness. More support of agencies. Remind families that they can get rehab for free
Question 11
- I think it would be worth pointing out that although this family paid for rehab, there are a plethora of rehab units
across the country that are paid for by local authorities and are equal, if not better
It was fantastic. More police officers should have attended. Impactive performances. The production was very
professional and dragged you in. Mention drugFAM when doing referrals. Brilliant production! Brilliant, impactive
play which was extremely saddening to watch. Very good presentation. Very good cast - thanks. Brilliant
overall. Very well performed. Simply fantastic. Fantastic, really enjoyed it. Schools would benefit from this
production as the interventions (18yrs old) are possibly too old. Would like to see this going into schools.
Excellent, impactive performance. Excellent morning. Amazing! Thank you. Would like to have seen the
perspective from the sister’s point of view. Excellent and powerful production x 2. Excellent. Overall it was
excellent throughout. Thank you to Elizabeth and her family for sharing her story for the good of others. Superb
performance. Could benefit from covering local services on offer at the end as well as drug fam. Appears to be
vague from speaking to visitors to the stall and the prejudice some drug users experience could be reduced by
professionals watching this play. Would liked a question and answer session at the end. Excellent production.
Fantastic play that really brings home the effects of drugs on families. Really enjoyed it, had to fight off tears in
the end. Superb! Excellent script, great delivery. Thank you to Elizabeth - a very brave lady. Very powerful and
moving x 2. It made me shiver many times and moved me to tears. Thank you to the two ladies for sharing their
story
Overall, the play was emotional whilst giving an excellent insight into how it affects families. Would be good to
see this on TV or at the Belgrade. Also in schools perhaps supported by partnership agencies in the local
communities. Wider circulation to inform families of support given. Focus seems to be more driven on the user,
brilliant. Very moving, I did not realise it was a true story. Wonderful moving production, very positive and
impactive, would have been useful to add some ideas about how to apply things in practice. Made me think,
where was the support for the family? Excellent play that has made me question my own attitude and made me
think about how my work makes a difference
Thanks to WMP for arranging it so well (Merseyside Police)
