Great insights into how @LewishamMusic are working on diversifying their workforce, from developing job descriptions with help from @ChangingTracks1, using ‘blind’ recruitment, defining org culture, increasing CPD, and rethinking where job ads are posted and routes into the role

Changing Tracks' final National Working Group tomorrow will be exploring the benefits of local knowledge and connections, especially to local authorities' SEND, Inclusion + Health strategies. Michael's recent article for Arts Professional sets the scene. artsprofessional.co.uk/magazine/artic…

4. "Involvement with Changing Tracks has also allowed our small team to tackle inclusion in a much more holistic way. It is essential to give this work context outside of our own"
