Preface to the Annual Plan 2013-14 This Annual Plan sets out our activities and objectives for the year 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014, as well as a summary of our budget. Through this year, we are implementing a wideranging programme of changes to how we work. These changes have been detailed in our Board commitments, published in December 2012 and the subsequent Action Plan for change, published in March 2013. With our new Chief Executive Janet Archer now appointed, we will be developing our longer term plan and vision, and we aim to have this developed, agreed and published for April 2014.

This will replace the existing Corporate Plan and will re-set the overall purpose of Creative Scotland and our values in line with the feedback we have received over the past year and have gathered through initiatives such as our recent Open Sessions. So, to reaffirm: â&#x20AC;˘ 2013-14: Publication of detailed Annual Plan and work to produce our longer term plan and vision. â&#x20AC;˘ 2014-17: Publication of longer term plan supported each year by an updated, Annual Plan.

Introduction

Arts and creativity are central to how we define and express who we are as individuals, as communities and as a nation. A cultural life that is rich, varied and stimulating opens our minds to difference, debate and ideas; connecting us and providing joy and fulfilment. Scotland is a country defined by its commitment to building a better future, characterised by greater equality and enhanced opportunity, and that values the fundamental role that the arts, screen and creative industries play in our lives.

Creative Scotland is the national organisation that funds and supports the development of Scotlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arts, screen and creative industries. We are here to ensure that these sectors continue to thrive and achieve their full potential in Scotland and beyond. We act as a funder, advocate and development agency through working in partnership with others to provide strategic leadership for the arts, screen and creative industries. We support individuals, organisations and companies to innovate and grow, encouraging collaborative working across the sectors that we serve.

Creative Scotland is an executive NonDepartmental Public Body (NDPB). We are independent from the Scottish Government but are accountable to them. We distribute funding from the Scottish Government and also from the National Lottery funds. All public bodies are required to have corporate and business plans aligned with the National Performance Framework.1

Scottish Government: Guidance for Scottish Government Sponsor Teams, December 2011

Our role

This Annual Plan shows how we are delivering these objectives in 2013-14. We will monitor our performance against these objectives and the Scottish Government’s National Performance Framework. We will publish an annual report to demonstrate the transparent and efficient use of public money.

We support artists, filmmakers, creative people and organisations across Scotland through funding, development and advocacy. We work in partnership to create a sustaining environment where arts and creativity can flourish for everyone.

We value: Collaboration – we will listen to the needs of others and work in partnership across all aspects of public life.

We want Scotland to be a country where everyone can be creative and where artists, filmmakers, individuals and organisations feel valued, empowered and free to develop great things. A country where art and creativity play a part in the life of everyone who lives, works or visits here, no matter where they come from or where they stay; where the arts, screen and creative industries are central to Government on a local and national level, as well as by broader society; and a country whose creative cultural excellence is recognised at home and abroad.

Commitment – we care deeply about the arts, screen and creative industries in Scotland and are committed to their continued wellbeing and development. Trust – we will build relationships based on fairness, openness and mutual respect, sharing our knowledge and enthusiasm. Knowledge – we will place knowledge and expertise, across a range of art forms and specialisms, at the heart of our organisation and seek to be an organisation that continually learns, adapts and improves how we work.

We have 4 objectives. These are to: Support excellence in artistic and creative practice: enabling excellent work to be developed that is recognised and experienced at home and abroad.

We aim to work in partnership with local authorities across Scotland, as well as organisations such as COSLA and VOCAL, to ensure the long term health of arts, screen and creative industries in all parts of Scotland. Our ‘place partnerships’ with local authorities helps to deliver and support cultural initiatives in specific parts of the country.

Improve access to, and participation in, arts and creative activity: across all parts of Scotland, particularly among equality groups and people from less advantaged backgrounds. Develop and sustain a thriving environment for the arts, screen and creative industries: through our funding programmes, development activity and advocacy.

In addition to delivering our core work in 201314 we are undertaking a change programme to deliver the commitments made by the Creative Scotland Board in December 2012. This work programme is set out in detail in the Change Action Plan published in March 2013.2

Deliver our services efficiently and effectively: ensuring a positive experience of Creative Scotland for those we are here to support and our partners, and effectively managing the public funds for which we are responsible.

Funding, Development & Advocacy We support the arts, screen and creative industries through funding, development and advocacy.

partners including other national agencies, local authorities and skills development bodies, to provide leadership and advocacy for the arts, screen and creative industries, and support policy development through research and knowledge sharing.

We are committed to providing long-term, sustainable funding for as many organisations as possible, complemented by project funding for individuals and organisations. We currently provide funding in a number of different ways:

New Developments for 2013-14

• Foundation Organisations: which receive long-term funding support.

This year we have launched a new Artists’ Bursaries programme to provide artists and other creative professionals with the time and resources to develop their practice. The assessment process for this programme includes peer review to provide Creative Scotland with a range of expert opinion and make decisions. We have also introduced a distinct new fund for significant sited public art, to enable the development and realisation of high quality public art projects that bring artists, people and place together.

• Programme Funded Organisations: receiving funding support for up to a two year programme of work. • Annual Clients: organisations funded on an annual ongoing basis to provide services and support networks for the arts and broader creativity in Scotland. • Partner organisations delivering devolved funds: organisations who have an in depth knowledge of the sector they serve.

We will continue with our work to develop and deliver the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Cultural Programme, in partnership with Glasgow 2014 Limited and Glasgow Life. The Programme aims to enhance the Games experience for Scotland’s communities, spectators and visitors, as well as present the best of Scotland’s culture alongside that of the Commonwealth.

• Open and managed funding programmes: support for a range of individuals and organisations to develop and deliver time limited projects. Creative Scotland receives its funding from two principle sources; Grant in Aid and Lottery. Activity which we support may be funded through one or a combination of these sources.

In 2013-14 we commence a programme of strategic development to respond to the recommendations from Sector Reviews in Theatre, Dance and Music. Further reviews of the Visual Arts and Crafts, and Film sectors will be progressed this year. The learning from these reviews will feed into our future plans.

In all cases, we aim to provide the type of funding that best meets the needs of artists, creative individuals, organisations and creative businesses. To better achieve this, we are redesigning our funding programmes to ensure that they more closely reflect the needs of those we are here to support. The new funds will be launched for the 2014-15 financial year.

We will refresh our approach to working with partners to increase activity and impact in the creative industries across Scotland. Through our role in the Scottish Creative Industries Partnership, we aim to improve support for creative enterprises and enable new services or

We operate in a broader national and international context, working closely with our

initiatives that best meet the needs of the sector. We will work with the Scottish Government and partners, to test and explore the feasibility for a film studio in Scotland and, through new partnerships, will continue to support digital innovation in the arts, music and screen.

Internally, we will be introducing a new IT system to enable online applications and improve our grants administration and management processes. We are also in the process of developing a new website for launch this year. In line with the commitments in our Change Action Plan we will be redesigning funding programmes and developing new multi-year funding arrangements for organisations, in consultation with the sector. Developing our longer–term plan will be a major piece of work this year.

Improving access to, and increasing participation in, arts and creative activity continues to be a priority. We are working closely with the Scottish Audience Development Network to develop a single gateway to advice and support on cultural engagement for arts and cultural organisations across Scotland.

Planned operational activity for 2013-14, including ongoing programmes of work, is set out on pages 29-38.

A commitment to education underpins all of Creative Scotland’s objectives and we will continue to work with partners to deliver Scotland’s Creative Learning Plan. We will lead on the delivery of the National Youth Arts Strategy and on developing a proposal for new National Youth Arts infrastructure. We will also begin work with the British Film Institute on the development of a Film Education programme in Scotland.

Our Income Our total income for 2013-14 is £97.4 million3, comprising: • Scottish Government ‘grant in aid’ funding £34.1 million • Scottish Government restricted funds (for specific purposes) £18.8 million • UK Lottery income £43.4 million4 • Funds from project partners £1.1 million

We are refreshing our approach to diversity and equalities to put more focus on being a fair, enabling and transparent public funder. In addition, we are working to ensure that we have a positive influence in promoting more inclusive approaches to creative practice and to people’s experience of the arts and culture in Scotland. We will seek to identify equality gaps in artistic and creative provision and continue to develop high quality work by diverse artists from creative organisations and communities. The six organisations working with us on the Promoting Equalities Programme will continue to embed equalities across all aspects of their work and share their learning with others.

We monitor our operating costs as a percentage of expenditure. These are projected to be £7.7m in 2013-14, 8% of our total income.

Our International work included the 2013 Scotland + Venice exhibition, celebrating a ten year history of promoting new work at the Venice Biennale, with this year’s exhibition curated and organised by The Common Guild. We will continue working with British Council Scotland to develop links with cultural organisations in India, Brazil and South Africa. In September 2013 we will host an IFAACA European Chapter meeting examining Freedom of Expression for artists.

Expenditure is budgeted to exceed income by £14.8m due to the planned commitment to multiyear projects where cash flow will occur in future financial years. This sum also includes a nominal £2m not yet formally approved by the Scottish Government. See page 20.

Understanding Our Performance We will monitor the effectiveness of all of our work in order to help us develop and refine policy. We are committed to ensuring best practice and improving performance throughout the organisation.

We use a range of internal and external data, including: • Creative Scotland funding data which gives us information on the processing and success of grant applications including end of year reports from Foundation Organisations and monitoring reports from projects. These tell us about audience development, performance numbers, and exhibition, education and outreach work.

The following four outcomes say what we want to achieve: • The arts, screen and creative industries have the support – both artistic and financial – to produce excellent work that is experienced and recognised at home and abroad.

• The Scottish Household Survey (SHS) surveys 18,000 people over a three-year period and will include additional culture questions in 2013.

• Access to, and participation in, the arts and creative activity increases year on year across Scotland, particularly from equality groups and people from less advantaged backgrounds.

• Creative Scotland’s public survey which looks at engagement with cultural activity and barriers to participation, in addition to attitudes to culture. • The Scottish Government Growth Sector Statistics for the Creative Industries (including Digital) looking at employment and economic activity in the creative industries.

• Those working in the arts, screen and creative industries are effectively supported and sustained through our funding programmes, enabling them to make a valued and recognised contribution to society.

In 2014 we will publish the first annual review of our performance for this 2013-14 Plan, looking at how funding of Foundation and Programme Organisations is being used, and assessing Creative Scotland’s performance against its ambitions and outcomes.

• We provide an effective and efficient service to those we are here to support and to our partners. In order to show the difference that we want to make, we monitor a range of measures nationally and organisationally which help us to understand our own work and the health of the arts, screen and creative industries in Scotland. We will regularly report on these to our Senior Management and our Board. They will allow us to provide an efficient and effective service to those we are here to support. This year we will develop a set of success measures – Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – both before and after for publication as part of our longer-term plan.

We know that not everything is measurable. We understand that arts, culture and creativity can have transformative benefits for individuals and communities, often in ways that are not quantifiable. But often there is a rich seam of personal and community experience which we will continue to highlight on our website. Large-scale or new initiatives take place in ways that are easier to evaluate. For example, we are currently evaluating the impact of Luminate: Scotland’s Creative Ageing festival, our work on Arts and Justice, our Creative Futures residency programme and Scotland’s Cultural Programme for the London 2012 Olympics.

Delivering National Outcomes Creative Scotland is an executive NonDepartmental Public Body (NDPB) of the Scottish Government. Our sponsor department in Government is Culture and External Affairs – but we also work across the range of public policy, including enterprise, tourism, education, justice, health and the environment.

National Outcomes

All public services in Scotland are required to align to the National Performance Framework (NPF) to support delivery of the Scottish Government’s Purpose, which is:

NO3 We are better educated, more skilled and more successful, renowned for our research and innovation.

To focus Government and public services on creating a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth.

NO4 Our young people are successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.

NO2 We realise our full economic potential with more and better employment opportunities for our people.

NO7 We have tackled the significant inequalities in Scottish society.

The NPF sets out 16 National Outcomes describing what the Government wants to achieve over the next ten years. Creative Scotland will monitor our performance against seven National Outcomes, as follows.5

NO13 We take pride in a strong, fair and inclusive national identity.

Appendix 1 on page 40 shows how our Strategic Objectives align to the National Outcomes.

NO14 We reduce the local and global environmental impact of our consumption and production. NO16 Our public services are high quality, continually improving, efficient and responsive to local needs. Although our current work relates most directly to these National Outcomes, we contribute to all 16 to a greater or lesser extent. Project evaluation will continue to provide evidence of impact in other areas – for example our work on Arts and Justice is relevant to the National Outcome on Crime and Disorder and Luminate: Scotland’s Creative Ageing festival to the Outcome on Longer, Healthier Lives.

Guidance for Public Bodies recommends that we report our performance against National Outcomes and also use them to monitor our environmental impact and the quality of the service they provide (i.e. Outcomes 14 and 16).

Fifty National Indicators track progress towards the Purpose and National Outcomes. Creative Scotland is a named partner for delivery against two of these Indicators, as below: National Indicator

Measures in support

We will also report on: • Corporate Expectations NDPBs need to make a statement of progress against Government expectations. This includes progress on public sector reform, shared services, fraud prevention and youth employment.

• Environmental Impact We are in the process of creating a framework to be able to report against our commitments to environmental sustainability, including providing a Public Sector Sustainability Report as required under the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009. We are committed to assisting those we fund, and our partners, in improving performance on environmental sustainability.

• Equalities We have a duty to report every other year on ‘Mainstreaming Equalities’ to publish equality outcomes6 and report progress for equality groups and people from less advantaged backgrounds. • Gaelic Language We will report progress against the commitments made in our Gaelic Language Plan, published in 2012-13. • Our Financial Position We need to report our audited accounts for both Grant-in-Aid and Lottery funds on an annual basis and to obtain both a positive audit report in the statutory accounts and to have adequate financial controls for the internal audit’s annual report. We also report procurement Key Performance Indicators to government on a monthly basis. • Efficiencies We need to ensure value for money for the taxpayer, achieving economy, efficiency and effectiveness in all our operational activities.

Our Equality Outcomes are available on our website here

Operational Activity 2013-14

This section summarises Creative Scotland’s operational activity for 2013-14. It sets out our funding programmes, development work, advocacy and support services. It includes activities we undertake directly and work delivered with our partners and the organisations we fund, but is illustrative of the work we undertake rather than a definitive list. New areas of work for this year are highlighted in bold.

In order to deliver the commitments made by the Creative Scotland Board in December 2012 we will implement a wide ranging programme of changes to how we work throughout this year. This work programme is set out in detail in the Change Action Plan published in March 2013. We have established a Working Group, with staff from across the organisation, to help implement this work and will draw on feedback from our recent Open Sessions. We aim to ensure that we get the balance right; building on the strengths of our on-going work to support the arts, screen and creative industries in Scotland while listening to ongoing feedback.

Our commitments to education, equalities and to working locally and internationally underpin all of our work. Our equalities work aims to ensure that: • Our funding support more accurately reflects the diversity of contemporary Scotland; • Opportunities to engage with, and participate in, arts throughout the country are more inclusive and accessible to everyone; • Employment patterns in the arts and creative industries better represent the diversity of Scotland; and, • Our staff have a genuine understanding of, and commitment to, equalities.
