Thank you for completing this survey! We anticipate it will take around 10 minutes.

Survey information 

This survey is designed for people aged 18-30 living in London who work in or are seeking work in the creative, cultural and digital industries.

Information captured will contribute to the Young Creatives Research project, led by A New Direction working with six peer researchers and The Young Foundation. 

The research aims to better understand the opportunities, barriers and factors that enable or challenge the experience of young creatives in London.

Findings will inform development of A New Direction's future programmes, including employment and skills opportunities for young Londoners, and a summary may be published or shared with A New Direction's partners and funders, including Arts Council England.

Only aggregated and anonymised information will be shared in research outputs. The form includes an option for you to give permission for us to use direct quotes (anonymised) from your responses. 

Data will be kept for 1 year after the end of the research project, until November 2027. You can withdraw your data at any time, or ask any questions about the project, by emailing info@anewdirection.org.uk.

The following questions are about you. We're collecting demographic information to help us understand the characteristics of survey respondents. All questions are optional, and there is a prefer not to say option for many. We have used question and answer options based on wording used by Arts Council England. These are based on guidance from the ONS and questions used in the national census, although some question areas are different and include more or different options. We recognise that the list of response options for some of the questions may not cover all of the ways that people identify, but hope there are enough choices for everyone to feel represented and some questions include self-describe options. Thank you.
