State of the sector research

2023 survey is now live! Respond by Monday 7 August

We are calling on all arts specialist individuals and organisations working in criminal justice to complete the 2023 State of the sector survey. This is your chance to tell us about the challenges your organisation has faced over the last year and help us influence key decision makers on your behalf and ensure that our support meets your needs. We regularly meet with HM Prison and Probation Service and the Ministry of Justice to speak up on behalf of artists and arts organisations in the criminal justice voluntary sector, but we need up-to-date evidence to do this effectively. That is why we are asking you to complete the survey. Your anonymised responses will contribute to a report highlighting the changes and challenges the voluntary sector, and its service users, are experiencing and how organisations are adapting.

As part of this year’s State of the sector research, the National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance (NCJAA) have helped shape the survey to provide opportunity for individuals and organisations in the arts and criminal justice sector to have their voices heard. Survey findings will be reported on in the coming months with plans to create a mini-report focussing specifically on the input from arts sector professionals both as independent artists and practitioners, and staff or trustee representatives of organisations in our network.
