Research commissioned by Creativity, Culture and Education (CCE), the body tasked with delivering Creative Partnerships, the creative learning programmes in schools, and piloting the five-hour cultural offer for children, revealed that out of 2,452 respondents, one in five parents believes their child has not taken part in any cultural activities in the past year with their family.
