Buckinghamshire Culture delivers a range of projects designed to support the creative and cultural sector in Buckinghamshire. We aim to both nourish and support our existing creative and cultural partners, and develop opportunities to embed creativity and culture into aspects of other sectors’ work, such as: education, health and wellbeing and placemaking.
Below, we have compiled a set of resources that organisations looking to improve their inclusive practice and accessibility might find useful. Resources are split into several sections:
- Inclusion Resources
- Arts and Culture Training Bodies – Access and Inclusion
- General Inclusion and Access Training
- Safeguarding Training
- Mental Health Awareness Trainings
