Since 2012, Arts Council England have been working with a range of arts and cultural organisations, devising and testing a set of principles to underpin high quality work by, with and for children and young people.

The seven quality principles are:
- Striving for excellence and innovation
- Being authentic
- Being exciting, inspiring and engaging
- Ensuring a positive and inclusive experience
- Actively involving children and young people
- Enabling personal progression
- Developing belonging and ownership
The Arts Council England commissioned two organisations; the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) and Shared Intelligence to do real world testing of the principles in 2014.
The testing was wide ranging. Fifty-one lead organisations tested the principles, working with 800 partner organisations and involving almost 9,500 children and young people.
Arts and cultural organisations found a variety of innovative, flexible and creative ways to test the quality principles. Some organisations devised ways to capture feedback from children and young people, and others encouraged children and young people to evaluate their experiences.
