Attitude is Everything

Who we are

Attitude is Everything improves Deaf and disabled people's access to live music by working in partnership with audiences, artists and the music industry.

Our vision is to see music and live event industries valuing disabled people as audience members, performers, professionals and volunteers.

Our work won’t stop until this becomes the norm.

Through our work:

• Disabled people lead the change.
• Industry professionals learn from real-life experience and expertise.
• Barriers are identified and removed.
• Best practice is celebrated and rewarded.
• More disabled people play their part.

Our culture and values

These are expectations we have for all of our roles at Attitude is Everything. You will not be asked to directly demonstrate this on your application but we may not take your application further if your application or interview give us a reason to believe you do not meet these standards.

We expect staff to:

·     Treat colleagues, audience members, trustees, live events industry professionals and everyone you meet through your work in the charity in a fair and respectful manner.

·     Support equity and inclusion for anyone who experiences barriers of discrimination due to any protected characteristic under the Equality Act.

·     Maintain professional boundaries with colleagues, live event industry professionals and any volunteers who you meet through your work in the organisation

·     Approach your role with honesty and integrity and avoid using your connection with the charity for personal gain or that of family or friends.

·     Be able or willing to learn to use the software we use for work and monitoring (specifically Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce and Zoom.)

·     Maintain trust and confidentiality, including avoiding sharing details of confidential conversations on social media

·     Be passionate about removing barriers that prevent disabled people from accessing the Music and Live Events Industry. 

·     Avoid negative or patronising stereotypes or assumptions about disabled people or treating any one impairment as more ‘important’ than another.

·     Support our aim of being a ‘critical friend’ to the industry – giving honest feedback in a positive and constructive way.

·     To abide by our policies – particularly around Equality and Diversity, Anti-Bullying and Harassment and safe working practices.
