The Equality Challenge Unit (ECU) has released a report examining the equality issues associated with work placements in the arts and cultural sector. Their report provides evidence of the challenges some students face in accessing and completing a work placement, particularly disabled students, black and minority ethnic students, and those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. As a result two toolkits have been developed: one to assist HEI staff in their daily practices, the other providing advice and information to students on how to access and succeed in work placements. To read the full report and access the toolkits, please see the ECU’s website
