UK Music Workforce Diversity Survey
UK Music has launched a survey to track diversity and inclusion in the UK’s music industry focusing specifically on those who work behind the scenes in the industry, rather than those who are on stage. The findings of the survey will give the music industry, Government and other stakeholders a critical insight into where improvements are needed regarding diversity and inclusion – and highlights where positive change is already under way.
To get the most accurate picture of the diversity of the industry UK Music need as many people from the industry as possible to take part – the survey can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Diversity22-LIVE
