Fern Potter, Development Consultant and Senior Development Manager from Index on
Censorship will also be speaking. In her presentation she will argue that the arts
sector is in danger of being completely marginalised in the current climate of budget
cuts. “We’re getting squashed out of local authority funding, completely dropped
off the Government’s consultation on national wellbeing and were nearly sliced from
Michael Gove’s [Education Secretary] EBacc proposals,” she said.

"If we don’t start getting smarter about making the case and providing impact analysis
and evidence for our sector, we will not survive the current environment of squeezed
funds. This conference is vital to our sector’s health.”

Tickets cost from £175 for an IoF individual member.
