Parents and Carers in the Performing Arts (PiPA)

Who we are

PiPA believes that a truly world class performing arts is inclusive of all talents and circumstances.

We help our partners discover new possibilities, identifying flexible new approaches to employment which release latent talent and opportunities.

By providing factual evidence that parents and carers truly enrich the performing arts, we aim to shift mindsets, address disadvantages and map out practical paths forward.

We respect and value everyone’s contribution. By bringing together employers, unions and representative groups of parents and carers, we find a common purpose, increase access to work, and extend the depth of that work.
