Our Beyond the Music initiative works to break down barriers in music and event industry workplaces.
Why make your workplace accessible?
- 20% of the UK working age population are disabled. If you aren’t reaching disabled people, you are missing out on potential talent.
- 79% of disabled people in the music industry feel their careers have been impacted by avoidable barriers.
- 51% of disabled people in the music industry have withdrawn from a job application process due to lack of accessibility.
- 69% of disabled people on the music industry who have not disclosed their impairment believe they are putting their health and safety at risk as a result.
