The arts can also unlock potential by helping young people to develop skills in critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and problem-solving. In addition, engaging with the arts supports young people’s communication, empathy and emotional wellbeing.

Through our Arts’ Education funding we support arts/cultural organisations and education settings to work in partnership to explore how the arts can enrich the lives of children and young people and develop the professional practice of teachers.

We campaign for systemic change so that women can enjoy their rights as enshrined in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. We exist to tackle the root causes of sex inequality.

• Ambitious – We are bold and ambitious for change in society. We are also ambitious for our people, who we support to develop and thrive.  
   

Our current strategic priorities: 

1. Combating commercial sexual exploitation – our long-term goal is that the government adopts laws to effectively combat commercial sexual exploitation and support victim-survivors.  

We work with survivors, policy makers and practitioners to combat commercial sexual exploitation. We provide the Secretariat for the UK Parliament’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Commercial Sexual Exploitation. We also provide the Secretariat for A Model For Scotland and the Co-Secretariat for Not For Sale.

They come alongside parents and carers, building long-lasting community in addition to encouraging confidence and learning positive parenting skills.
