During the year ending 31 March 2025, Deaf Explorer CIC delivered arts, sector-support, and governance activity funded primarily through Arts Council England’s Investment Principles Support Organisation (IPSO) programme. The company’s activity focused on improving access, representation, and professional development for Deaf, hard of hearing, and intersectional artists across theatre, outdoor arts, dance, and family work. This included commissioning and supporting Deaf-led creative work, advising festivals and venues on Deaf access, delivering professional development opportunities, and building national partnerships across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Alongside artistic activity, Deaf Explorer invested in governance improvement, evaluation frameworks, and organisational learning following an independent governance review. This work benefited the Deaf arts community by strengthening accountability, transparency, and inclusive practice within the organisation and across the wider sector. The company’s work during this period contributed to increased visibility of Deaf artists, improved access standards within partner organisations, and the continued development of pathways for Deaf creatives to progress their careers.
Deaf Explorer CIC’s stakeholders include Deaf and hard of hearing artists, freelancers, partner arts organisations, funders, interpreters, and Deaf audiences. Stakeholder consultation took place through structured feedback sessions, accessible evaluation tools (including BSL-supported feedback), one-to-one artist conversations, and sector meetings. Feedback from Deaf artists and partners directly informed changes to programming, access approaches, governance practices, and future planning. The organisation responded to consultation feedback by prioritising Deaf-led delivery, strengthening access provision, improving governance structures, and implementing plans to increase transparency in decision-making and communication.
