Policies
inclusion, diversity, equity and access
anam creative is a grassroots arts organisation supporting emerging musicians and artists through collaborative projects, events and our community fund. Our goal is to create spaces where creatives feel safe, heard, respected and included.
We treat everyone we work with equitably regardless of gender, socio-economic background, race, sex, sexual orientation, disability (visible or invisible), marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, religion or belief, or any other protected characteristic.
PACBI
We stand in active solidarity with the Palestinian people in their struggle for justice, freedom, and dignity.
As a small artist-led organisation committed to inclusion, accessibility, and equity, we endorse the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and uphold the principles of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
Safeguarding
This policy outlines how we protect the wellbeing of those we work with, particularly individuals who may be at increased risk due to health, social or personal circumstances. It reflects our commitment to care, respect and inclusion in every space we facilitate.
This policy has been written with reference to Youth Music’s safeguarding requirements and will continue to develop through engagement with safeguarding experts, including through Youth Music’s Industry Connect Coalition.
fair work
anam creative is committed to creating a professional environment where Fair Work is at the core. We want to ensure that we are an organisation whose core team, commissioned artists and collaborators feel heard, valued, and have the opportunity to develop alongside our enterprise.
anam creative’s Fair Work statement has been written in accordance to the Scottish Government's Fair Work First Guidance.
Complaints
anam creative aims to facilitate a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment where every individual feels valued and supported.
Whether your concern relates to discrimination, harassment, accessibility, or any other issue, we want to ensure you feel supported in bringing it forward. Every complaint will be taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and resolved with transparency and care.
Our aim is not only to resolve individual concerns but also to uphold the values of inclusion, diversity, equity, and access in all our actions and decisions.
Environmental Sustainability Policy
anam creative embeds environmental responsibility into the design and delivery of all of our work. As a small, partnership-led organisation without a permanent office, we operate through low-impact working practices that prioritise cycling and public transport, remote collaboration, shared spaces and second-hand equipment.
We minimise waste by encouraging recycled and locally sourced materials, avoiding single-use production where possible, and following a repair-before-replace approach to procurement. Digital tools are used thoughtfully, with regular review of storage and cautious use of energy-intensive technologies such as AI.
