Inclusion Strategy 2025–30
Our work on inclusion is underpinned by an understanding that:
Inclusion is a journey not a destination!
Our understanding of, and our ability to bring about, musical inclusion is always developing. This strategy builds upon the Hub’s needs analysis, and links to our other strategies, plans and policies.
