CHWA is proud to be launching a new guidance resource for embedding access into creative health events and projects. This idea has been in development based on feedback from our 2023 Making Change conference.
We often hear people say they would like to be more accessible in their approach, but are unsure about how to do this practically, from where to start, to concerns about costs and time restrictions. This resource is designed to offer some suggestions you might want to consider, and highlights some great practice from other organisations. It also aims to highlight the real costs behind creative a truly accessible event, and can be used alongside our Creative Health Quality Framework as an advocacy tool with funders, commissioners and partners when considering budgets.
Whilst we recognise the skills and experience in our team relating to access, CHWA is not primarily an access organisation, so we have also signposted to organisations who have more detailed expertise to share.
Please see the links below to the various versions of the guide.
