Recommendation 26

The establishment of CIISA is an opportunity to educate the music industry on the rights of self-employed workers and the responsibilities of those hiring them. It can become a hub of expertise. Earlier in this report we set out how training should be part of the licensing conditions for live music venues. We described how France’s National Centre of Music is working with grassroots organisations to provide training around sexual harassment and sexual violence. We ask CIISA to consider whether it could undertake a similar role in the UK, for live music venues seeking to meet new licensing conditions as well as other organisations such as recording studios and educational settings, and for that training to also include tackling issues of misogyny and gender bias. (Recommendation, Paragraph 123)
