Recently at RAWD they became a charity, and in their own process of building a board, began researching boards and governance in the arts, finding that people with disabilities are largely underrepresented in decision-making roles within Arts and Culture organisations.
They want to understand this further on a local level. Help RAWD develop solutions for boards to be more inclusive and accessible in the Liverpool City Region.
Below you’ll find a survey about your organisations own experiences, practices and perspectives on boards. Filling it out would be invaluable to their research and mission, and should only take 20 minutes of your time.
If your organisation’s board does not have any disabled members you can still support with significant information that helps collate data and understand the challenges faced. You can still play a crucial part in developing solutions for the future. Information you provide will be presented anonymously, on behalf of RAWD in a digital campaign.
Should you be unable to fill this out digitally, but are interested in telling them about your own experiences, they would be happy to have a call or meet in person in 2025.
