Arts Council England is planning to introduce new systems of self-assessment and peer review for its regularly funded organisations. We are keen to work with the arts sector and our other stakeholders in developing these new processes. In order to get a clearer picture of their views we have published a consultation document, which sets out some of the key issues and asks some specific questions. The consultation is open to anyone to respond and all responses will be considered. We are particularly interested, however, in the views of arts organisations, the wider arts sector and other arts funders.

We are happy to accept collective responses from umbrella organisations or from particular sectors. The consultation period ends on Friday 23 January 2009. We will publish a summary of the responses soon after this.

Before you respond to the consultation, please ensure that you have read the consultation document.

We ask you to respond to the consultation via this website, but if you prefer we will also accept responses by post. If you would like to do this, or if you have any other questions regarding this consultation, please contact:
