Great to read one of our action research partners Portsmouth Music Hub talking about our trauma-informed creative musical nurture group model:

Kate Barrett, teaching and learning manager at Portsmouth Music Service, describes a Music Nurture Group.

A more diverse workforce will help your music service to offer a wider range of support and services, attract a greater range of young people, and bring new, fresh, perspectives and worldviews to your organisation. We have resources to help you: https://changingtracks.org.uk/inclusive-recruitment/

As we come to the end of the Changing Tracks programme in April, we thought it was time to share some of the feedback we’ve had from our partners, about what they’ve valued and what they need next. If you’ve benefited from Changing Tracks, we’d love to hear your views too...

Here are some responses to being asked about the impact of Changing Tracks:

"Feeling supported and encouraged to explore new ways of working and developing new work has given us the space to try, reflect and try more"

"Having examples, ideas, and models from across colleagues which have provided evidence I can use in internal and external meetings to better advocate for inclusion"

"Getting involved with Changing Tracks has allowed us to engage with EDI, through a practically focused lens, on a national scale. This has improved the quality of our work locally"

"Involvement with Changing Tracks has also allowed our small team to tackle inclusion in a much more holistic way. It is essential to give this work context outside of our own"
