National Portfolio 2018-22: Equality Analysis

Arts Council England has a legal duty to consider equality in its policy making. We also seek to go beyond our legal duty and ensure that the work we invest in is reflective of the diversity of contemporary England.

This Equality Analysis analyses the diversity of the organisations included in the 2018-22 National Portfolio. It also reviews and identifies the impact of our decision-making on people from protected characteristic groups. An accompanying Equality Action Plan sets out the steps we will take to address any negative impact of our decisions on equality and diversity across the arts and cultural sector.
