Creative Scotland is committed to offering clear and accessible application processes and programmes that are open to everyone.
Alternative Formats and Languages
On request, any of our main published materials, including funding guidance and application forms, are available in accessible formats and translations.
We can accept applications and supporting materials which are written in English, Gaelic or Scots.
Access Support for Making Your Application
Access support contributes to costs for services to help applicants overcome barriers to applying for Creative Scotland funds.
We offer access support to individuals (or the lead applicant for a group) who self-identify as D/deaf, hard of hearing, disabled or living with chronic illness, mental illness or neurodivergence (such as dyslexia, autism, ADHD).
In the following pages, learn more about the types of support you can request, the maximum contribution levels relating to the type of support requested, how and when to request assistance, and how to request access costs as part of your funding application.
Access to Work
Please note that all disabled (inclusive of Deaf, chronically ill and neurodivergent) practitioners are encouraged to apply for Access to Work for their access support to make applications and carry out their work. This is available regardless of earnings or hours and is not impacted by other benefits.
