Embed anti-racist and inclusive practice across your organisation
Structured implementation frameworks and facilitated programmes for cultural organisations ready to move from commitment to operational practice.
Many cultural organisations have commitments and action plans but lack a defined structure for implementation.
Take the Space provides structured frameworks and facilitated programmes that give organisations clarity, defined priorities, and a practical organisational roadmap supporting sustained implementation across governance, leadership and operations.

FAQ's:
How do we know which implementation route is right for our organisation?
The Embedded Framework is suitable for organisations ready to implement anti-racist and inclusive practice using a structured digital framework with coaching support.
The Facilitated Programme is suitable for organisations requiring diagnostic review, leadership alignment, facilitated organisational support, or implementation across complex or sensitive organisational contexts.
A readiness conversation will help determine the appropriate route.
What is the difference between the Embedded Framework and the Facilitated Programme?
The Embedded Framework provides structured implementation through a digital framework with coaching support. Your organisation completes audits and priority planning; and develops its organisational roadmap with guided support.
The Facilitated Programme includes direct organisational support, bespoke diagnostic review, leadership engagement, and facilitated workshops. Take the Space works directly with your organisation to develop a bespoke organisational handbook and implementation framework.
Our organisation has already completed training and action planning. Is this still suitable?
Yes. Both routes are designed to support organisations to move from training and planning to structured organisational implementation.
The Facilitated Programme is particularly suitable for organisations seeking independent diagnostic review or leadership-level organisational alignment.
Is the Facilitated Programme better suited for organisations undertaking decolonisation work?
Yes. Decolonisation work often involves complex organisational, historical and governance considerations. The Facilitated Programme provides the level of diagnostic review, leadership engagement and organisational alignment required for this work.
When do programmes begin?
Start dates are agreed with each organisation. Places are limited to three organisations per month for the Embedded Framework and one organisation per month for the Facilitated Programme.

Cultural Sector Client
'We explored what anti racist practice is and how it requires us to identify where racism exists in systems, organisations, structures, policies in practices and attitudes, and the ways and areas in which we can effect change. The day’s training allowed us to reflect deeply, leading to a range of insightful discussions and a space to consider how we can further implement best practice across our projects, audiences, at board level and in collaboration with partners moving forward. The training highlighted current challenges working within the arts and cultural sector, and empowered the team to build anti-racist practice into all areas of our work.
