Policy makers

We work closely with government departments in England, Wales and Northern Ireland responsible for education, culture, skills and health. Our work helps to inform government policy and shapes future agendas in the fields of literacy, family learning and health and wellbeing.


We also work closely with Arts Council England in supporting the delivery of 'Great Art for Everyone'.
