Accessible Employment Guide by Attitude is Everything
With indoor venues now reopening and live music shows returning, Attitude is Everything has published a new Accessible Employment Guide as part of a concerted bid to improve the inclusion of Deaf and disabled workers in the commercial music sector. Research suggests that disabled people remain hugely underrepresented at all levels of the UK music industry, despite significant increases in disabled audiences at live music events and the fact that 19% of working adults are considered disabled under the Equality Act.
In 2020 FAC and AiE launched a strategic partnership to work towards ensuring that the rights and interests of Deaf and disabled artists are fairly represented within the music industry.
