Criteria and FAQs
At Creative Access, our mission is to enable people from communities that are under-represented in the creative industries to access careers, progress and reach leadership.
There is an urgent need to improve representation of those from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse backgrounds, those from any ethnicity from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people, those with mental health problems, as well as those undergoing gender reassignment or transitioning in the creative industries. And so, we primarily focus on these groups.
While many of our opportunities are open to anyone to apply, you will see some are ring-fenced for people from specific groups. These are normally marked as Positive Action schemes.
We have a detailed application form because the more information you give us about yourself, the more we can ensure those who are eligible are able to access to these opportunities. You can read more about how we define each of these groups and get answers to other frequently asked questions below.
