Inclusivity
Inclusivity
Across a range of our activities at the Royal Philharmonic Society, we invite participants and applicants to complete some standard inclusivity monitoring questions as recommended by ACAS in accordance with the Equality Act 2010. The answers you give are confidential and reviewed separately from any application you may be making, or in connection to your involvement in any of our activities. You may complete as many or as few questions as you wish.
Taking a moment to do this is so helpful to us all collectively in classical music. We are committed to working with colleagues sector-wide to ensure we are representing excellence, creativity and innovation in music-making within a diverse, multicultural society. Thank you for playing your part in this.
