Annual Arts For All Network Survey

We'd love to hear your thoughts.

This annual survey helps us better understand the needs of our Arts For All Network members so we can improve our support and services.

The survey asks about how you identify and your accessibility work, location, and experiences for 2025, which lets us learn about barriers or successes and how to help. The more you share, the better we can support you and other members of the network.

If many members of your organisation are part of the Arts For All Network, it's much appreciated if you will each fill out this survey individually rather than as a group.

Feel free to skip any questions you don't want to answer. Any details you provide will remain private and won't be shared. The survey is designed so you can answer anonymously.

In most of this survey, we use the term 'Deaf or disabled' to include anyone who doesn't identify as non-disabled. There is an opportunity to tell us the language you use for yourself in question 4. Otherwise, we use this umbrella term for brevity and to align the social model of disability.
