Bias against working class should be illegal, culture review says More than 50% of respondents to a survey on the creative sector say they experienced class bias.

Working-class creatives are being squeezed out of careers in the arts.

Our research on the lack of class diversity in the creative industries has been cited in a new report on working-class participation in the arts across Greater Manchester ‡️

UWE and Cardiff Met are two examples. Any more?
