Equity, Diversity and Inclusions: Our approach and development

Nottinghamshire Music Hub is committed to making improvements relating to Equity, Diversity and Inclusions (EDI) with our partners of Music Education Hubs East Midlands (MEHEM). Music Education Hubs East Midlands (MEHEM) is developing a region-wide EDI collaborative strategy to take immediate action to improve EDI outcomes for all young people across the region.

Our 5 principles

Our 5 principles to guide the work ahead, we will:

  1. Commit to creating a diverse and representative creative output and stakeholder body at all levels, which is celebratory and reflective of our nation.
  2. Commit to using robust and creative methods to establish and maintain an inclusive working atmosphere for all where everyone feels valued and heard.
  3. Commit to providing all of our staff and workforce with training which reflects our values and commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.
  4. Communicate with all of our stakeholders and general public with regard to our EDI journey.
  5. Implement a robust monitoring, evaluation and review process which supports us to deliver on our EDI commitments.

Our priority areas

Our principles will be used to help us set aspirational targets for improvements in five priority areas. These will, in turn, help us to evaluate our progress.

    We commit to using robust and creative methods to establish and maintain an inclusive working atmosphere for all where everyone feels valued and heard.

  • Recruitment and retention
    We commit to creating an inclusive organisation representative of our region and the wider world.

  • Representation

  • Training
