The National Curriculum sets out a clear, full and statutory entitlement to learning for all pupils. It determines the content of what will be taught, and sets attainment targets for learning. It also determines how performance will be assessed and reported. If you are working in schools (or with school partners in a gallery context), you should at least have some familiarity with the National Curriculum for art, and an understanding of key aims for different stages.

Sonic Arts Network innovates new approaches to composing, performing and listening through a variety of educational contexts.

While maintaining a national role, the education department is nearing the end of an extensive European funded pilot project in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, developing models of good practice for national and international dissemination. Activities have included a 2 year collaboration with UK schools at each level of the national curriculum - including special needs - to explore classroom strategies for integrating Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into the music syllabus alongside short artist residencies in the community. Residencies explore collaborations between art forms such as music and dance, music and photography, with an outcome in performance or installation by participating groups, and creative projects on the internet.

The British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) was founded in 1964, and soon created national standards in training, career structures, codes of practice and state registration (without which it is illegal to practice as an art therapist). State registration was introduced to protect the public from potentially dangerous amateur psychotherapy; the professional development of art therapy has centred around gaining acceptance of therapeutic art-making as a 'treatment' requiring a trained practitioner. Art therapists operate across a broad spectrum, offering services ranging from art facilitation and enablement to intense psychotherapy. Nearly all art therapists have a first degree in art, and all must have a postgraduate qualification in art therapy. They are visual arts practitioners with specific expertise in the psychological and therapeutic aspects of art-making that underlie arts and health programmes and thinking.

On 1 October 2007 the three equality commissions: Commission for Racial Equality (CRE), Disability Rights Commission (DRC) and Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) merged into the new Equality and Human Rights Commission. The new commission brings together the work of the three previous equality commissions and also takes on responsibility for the other aspects of equality: age, sexual orientation and religion or belief, as well as human rights. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has extensive legal powers and a dedicated directorate of expert lawyers who are specialists in equality law. It is well equipped to take legal action on behalf of individuals, especially where there are strategic opportunities to push the boundaries, or to clarify and improve the law. The commission has significant powers to enforce the equalities duties of organisations and authorities, including, ultimately, launching official inquiries and formal investigations. They can also offer advice through their helpline and online resources.
