Accessibility & Inclusion Review

A consultancy service supporting festivals, venues and arts organisations to improve accessibility and inclusion for audiences and communities.

The review identifies barriers to participation and offers clear, viable recommendations for improving accessibility across your organisation.

The process may include:

• reviewing audience journeys and event experiences

• assessing accessibility information and communications

• reviewing booking forms and feedback processes

• advising on accessible programme design

• reviewing community engagement approaches

• staff or volunteer training in inclusive practice

I provide bespoke recommendations and tools to help create more welcoming and accessible creative experiences.

This service is particularly useful for organisations that want to strengthen accessibility but need support creating a step-by-step action plan.

Inclusive Programme Design

Support for organisations developing participatory arts or community engagement programmes.

This includes:

• identifying barriers to participation

• consulting with communities or stakeholders

• community/audience needs analysis

• designing inclusive programme structures

• planning facilitation approaches

• aligning programmes with social outcomes

• shaping programmes according to funder priorities (if desired)

• planning evaluation and impact frameworks

This helps organisations create inclusive programmes that are effective in reaching and engaging communities.

It is particularly useful for organisations that have an idea for a project or programme and would like support in creating a well-structured model that meets the needs of their target communities and stakeholders.
