Please Note: Fair Access prioritises those facing barriers in accessing the arts. Such as those who:
- live in an SIMD1 Postcode
- are care experienced
- are estranged and receive no support from family or carers
- live in an SIMD1 Postcode or SIMD2 Postcode and belong to one of the following groups:
- living rurally with poor transport links
- Black, Indigenous or People of Colour
- D/deaf or Hard of Hearing
Get in touch if you have any questions or need us to check a postcode for you.
For this reason, our CLPL sessions prioritise places for teachers whose schools have a high percentage of SIMD1 postcodes within their catchment area.
