Culturally diverse arts provision in criminal justice settings

Dear Creative Exchange newsletter subscribers,

Re: Culturally diverse arts provision in criminal justice settings

Creative Exchange and Penny Eames (PSE Consultancy) have been
contracted by the Anne Peaker Centre to conduct research on
culturally diverse arts provision in criminal justice settings. We
would be grateful if you could contribute thinking from your work
with Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups in England and Wales to
this process:

Our research objectives include:
- Exploring interests of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) offenders in
arts work.
- Identifying relevant arts organisations, trainers and practitioners.
- Identifying current good practice as well as gaps in provision
- Identifying areas where capacity building is required
- Identifying areas where professional development may be required

We are interested in existing arts work with BME groups in criminal
justice settings as well as other good practice with culturally
diverse groups, and how this might be transferable to criminal
justice settings.

A short questionnaire is available here in PDF and Word.

You can either:
Email return - complete it online and return via email to
admin@creativexchange.org
Post return - print a copy and post it to Creative Exchange,
Development House, 56-64 Leonard Street, London EC2A 4LT.

We are conscious that form filling is never a high priority but we
are keen to ensure a high return to this important consultation
exercise. We will therefore be offering a CD copy of Songbirds, a
training manual developed for arts in the criminal justice system in
South Africa, to one respondent randomly selected from those who
return completed questionnaires by the deadline.

Please return this questionnaire by February 6, 2008 to
admin@creativexchange.org

Thank you,

Creative Exchange Team
