New research: From token to transformation - the impact of Creative Scotland’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Action Plan requirements.
Posted on January 13 2026 at 09:00
We are delighted to share our latest research, a new discussion paper looking into Creative Scotland’s EDI requirements for the funding stream: National Lottery Open Fund for Organisations.
Our research was designed to run independently alongside the Scottish Government’s Independent Review of Creative Scotland, which was published in November 2025. Our aim is to ensure specific EDI insights on Creative Scotland’s processes were made publicly available, and to keep EDI within focus. The paper offers actionable recommendations to enhance Creative Scotland’s EDI requirements, and to help move beyond tokenistic tick boxes.
