PiPA in Scotland
What We Do
Research
PiPA aims to be a thought and change leader, amplifying the voices of everyone with caring responsibilities, changing mindsets and working practices alike. We conduct rigorous research, in partnership with leading Academic institutions and performing arts organisations, in order to deliver industry-led, effective, sustainable and affordable solutions.
Advocate
Organisations which implement the PiPA Charter are primed to release the full potential and diversity of skilled but often sidelined parents and carers – to drive a more sustainable future.
This makes our work equally beneficial to employers; parents and carers; and a well-balanced society.
Collaboration
We work together to amplify the voices of parents and carers. We encourage a new mindset, that parents and carers enrich the performing arts. We show what’s possible. We respect and value what everyone brings to PiPA.
Our Story
PiPA was created by Actor Cassie Raine and Director Anna Ehnold-Danailov in 2016, to address a lack of provision for parents and carers in the performing arts. Leaders across the arts have responded rapidly and with enthusiasm to new ideas, integrating PiPA into new working structures and approaches.
