Research and Resources
If you would like to learn more about Local Cultural Education Partnerships and the impact and benefits of cultural education on children and young people, please follow the links below to academic and Arts Council England LCEP research and findings. If you have any questions, please get in touch with the Culture Collider.
Arts Council England commissioned BOP Consulting to conduct research intothe operation of Local Cultural Education Partnerships (LCEPs). This was following up on ‘baseline’ research conducted by David Parker in late 2016.
The purpose of this rapid programme of research and analysis is to provide a detailed and up-to-date understanding of Local Cultural Education Partnerships (LCEPs) across the five Arts Council England (ACE) regions to inform future investment in LCEPs. The parameters of the research are based on the detailed expectations and outputs communicated in the ACE Scope of Requirements.
NFER was commissioned by the Cultural Education Partnership Group to evaluatepilot local Cultural Education Partnerships (CEPs) during 2014 and 2015. The Cultural Education Partnership Group (CEPG), formed in 2012, comprises national strategic partners interested in exploring shared approaches to improving young people’s access to cultural education.
This Cultural Education Challenge research sought to understand perceptions about the cultural offer currently available to children and young people and its ambitions to improve under the auspices of these local partnerships.
