Increase diversity or lose funds warns Arts Council England
17 February 2020 | News
Only six per cent of people working in the arts identify as disabled, compared with just over 20% in the wider population, according to a new report from Arts Council England (ACE).
ACE Chairman Sir Nicholas Serota said the report paints “a disappointing picture” of diversity and accused organisations of “treading water”.
ACE has recorded and published diversity data for the past five years. Abid Hussein, ACE’s Diversity Manager said that diversity targets need to be stretched, or recipients of funding would risk losing it.

The report argues that the government's huge Work Programme is failing disabled people (with at least an 88% failure rate) and is very poor value for money.
The report also found that 63% of those it surveyed said the government support they received did not help them get a job.
The BBC has reported the key findings of the report together with a response from a ‘spokesman for the DWP’.
