Creative Accessibility In Practice

22nd September 2026

Purpose

An evening for creative practitioners, educators and cultural organisations exploring what accessibility really means in creative practice.

Through discussion, case studies and shared experience, the session will explore how creative projects, environments and partnerships can better support neurodivergent children and young people, and how accessibility can be a starting point for creativity rather than an additional consideration.

Key Outcomes

Participants leave with:

  • Greater confidence discussing accessibility in creative settings

  • Examples of inclusive practice in action

  • Practical methods they can test in their own work

  • Better understanding of neurodivergent participation and experience

  • New connections across the Power Up network
