Submission of Contents
Scottish Arts Council is committed to Equalities. We are working to end unfair discrimination because of age, disability, gender, race, religion/belief, and sexual orientation. Before submitting, please consider the impact your opportunity/ job / project may have on particular groups of people. Is your proposal offering equality of opportunity? For example, do you need to restrict your opportunity to a defined age limit? Is your opportunity open to disabled people?
Opportunities outside of these guidelines will only be included if there is likely to be a significant benefit to the readership.
In order to maximise efficiency during the compilation of each bulletin, please limit any information you submit for possible inclusion to one paragraph. Email text to newsandopportunities@scottisharts.org.uk .
Text must include what the opportunity/event is, who the opportunity is for, the date of event or deadlines for any applications and contact details for further information, including email addresses and websites.
