Did you know that Crafts Council Gallery is available for hire?
Crafts Council seeks to engage an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) data analyst to support our EDI focussed monitoring, benchmarking, reporting and presenting process for 2026-27.
Context
Crafts Council annually captures and collates anonymised EDI data relating to:
- Recruitment
- Employees (with separate data captured about our leadership team)
- Freelancers / suppliers of services
Anonymised data is used for internal and external reporting, sharing key information with our funders, including Arts Council England, and to support with decision making and planning across our organisation.
The Challenge
Our aspiration is for the makeup of individuals applying for and securing employment and freelance roles; for those volunteering with us, including our trustees; and for audiences and participants engaging with us to be reflective of the makeup of our society within the UK. This aligns with our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion objectives and plans as featured within our EDI action plan which we have committed to report on (qualitative and quantitative data) bi-annually, including on our website / online platforms.
We recognise an opportunity to better monitor and review annual anonymised data captured and to compare our data with data captured annually by Arts Council England and other relevant data taken from the Office of National Statistics. We want to agree and create a benchmark to measure ourselves against in this and future years in order to create further plans to realise our aspiration linked to representation. This will ultimately help us have clarity, from a facts-based perspective, of where we are doing well and where there is more work to do.
Objectives
Initial activity will include:
- Reviewing CC Equal Opps data for the last three years
- Researching ACE EDI / equal opportunities data for the last three years (linked to data provided by National Portfolio Organisations including ourselves)
- Extracting key comparative data from data published by the Office for National Statistics
- Creating a visual year on year comparison of ours and other data, noting trends including comparative gaps
- For this to be used in discussion with key colleagues including our senior leadership team, project leads and EDI Committee members to consider findings, recommendations and to agree key actions
- Throughout this work, for a link to be made with our Salesforce data monitoring activity including dashboard development
- To create a report which can be used internally and shared externally, also linked to our EDI action plan and monitoring
- For this process to be repeated on an annual basis.
