Below are two types of resources: resources tailored to artists and for organisations. You can use the filter toggle to see resources that belong to each of these categories. We have displayed them together here because many resources have potential use for both artists and organisations, so if you're just browsing, we'd suggest taking them all in! We also have a selection of directories focussing on funding, organisations and support.
Guidance on the Equality Act 2010 can be found on the Equality and Human Rights Commission website.
