Inclusivity and Relevance

We are working hard to ensure Wonder Arts reflects, is relevant to and responsive to the communities we serve.

• We are committed to ensuring fairness, access and opportunity, supporting diverse work including BAME and black led collectives, LGBTQIA+ and disabled communities, early-stage career artists and artists from deprived socio-economic backgrounds.

• We build on the Creative Case for Diversity ensuring our programme, workforce and governance board reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. Our entire programme of work is aimed at under-represented
  socio-demographic and a-typical audiences and we will continue to further diversify our engagement with more people from the hardest to reach communities. We are committed to broaden the diversity of our workforce and governance including board recruitment to increase female, young people, LGBTQIA+, ethnic diversity and disabled community representation.

• We embed work in communities and embrace influences to ensure our work is relevant to and reflects not just our local community but all communities.

• Within our equality and diversity policy we have set clear and measurable targets that are founded on research, identifying which communities are under-represented internally across our workforce, leadership and Board as well as across our programming and audiences. We are taking actions to improve our inclusivity and relevance to groups with protected characteristics (under the Equality Act and socio-economic diversity) which are monitored and reported through our robust data collection and external evaluation procedures, so that further steps can be taken if our targets are not being achieved.
