The research team invite you to take part in an anonymous online survey that asks about bullying, harassment and the wider culture of the music industry. They recognise that the Music Industry is a massive field covering a lot of areas so they use it here to include all those involved from performers to writers, promoters, crew, managers, musicians, photographers and so on.

Recently, media in the UK have highlighted that more and more people are speaking out about their experiences of bullying and harassment in the music industry. This research aims to develop an understanding of these experiences and issues, in order to develop better support for those affected and to develop a robust UK wide evidence base.

Find out more about the survey and take part now.
