Parents fear the arts because they know the barriers for working-class kids are real. We need to address the unfair disadvantages, create more access, and show that creative careers aren’t just for the privileged

Almost 90% of working-class parents do not want to see their child pursue a career in the performing arts, research claims (@NYTofGB, @netflix)

Class and the arts! Really enjoyed speaking on the panel tonight. So many wonderful people and company’s doing great work to breakdown barriers to entry.

What a ‘class’ (sorry) and motivating chat this was tonight!
There are still barriers for the working class in the arts, it’s time that changed.

Thanks @SarahLHarkins @GinaLyons @kristianwalll @Spectatoreab @HelenaJarrold

@SarahLHarkins @SarahLHarkins on reflection of what antics we got up to, it was definitely the right decision 😂 I still have never watched Buffy

Excellent point grounded in research Charlotte and Svitlana

Other parents have brought this up repeatedly but we aren’t getting answers, are we?

Another question for @RD_SouthEast & @dianabarran @educationgovuk to address.

Do you know or work with any year 12 students from care experienced back grounds?

If so, please encourage them to apply to our fantastic K+ programme. Their applications will also be prioritised. We would love to meet them

The wonderful @MichelleSebele doing amazing things for the care experience community.

Last night, my teammate @Emily_s_Yam and I proposed a reform to the Equality Act 2010. We proposed it should include care experienced individuals (looked-after children and care-leavers) as the 10th Protected Characteristic.

@MichelleSebele @Emily_s_Yam You are amazing!
