Hannah Fouracre: Let's Create is the Arts Council's 10-year strategy that sets out our vision: by 2030 we want England to be a country where everyone has access to a range of high-quality cultural experiences. Children and young people are at the heart of our strategy; we want to support children to live creative lives where they live, where they go to school, and where they spend their free time.

Fouracre: There are lots of synergies between Let's Create and the newly published National Plan for Music Education (NPME) – most importantly, the focus on equity and inclusion. Currently, we know that not all children and young people can participate and progress equally, and that is not fair. Both strategies recognise that children's engagement in musical culture more broadly can happen in different ways and different spaces, and that we should prioritise identifying and removing the barriers that they are navigating.
