New support for building a more inclusive commercial music sector

Employment opportunities for Deaf and disabled people in the commercial music sector are being given a boost by a new three-year programme led by Attitude is Everything. ‘Beyond the Music’ will explore the barriers and discrimination facing Deaf and disabled people, as well as helping them to gain the skills, experience and contacts they need to work or volunteer in the music industry. A year-long Future Leaders programme will help to develop skills for lead the industry in the future, and training, resources and guidance will be provided to help music businesses build an inclusive work environment.
