The Society of London Theatre (SOLT) and UK Theatre published in June 2017 a research to assess the current and future needs of the UK’s theatre and performing arts sector workforce.
The publication puts forward strong recommendations for a more open organisational culture, a long-term commitment to professional development and flexible working practices, and a more diverse and representative workforce.
SOLT and UK Theatre will now establish a consortium across the industry including employers (both commercial and not for profit), sector bodies such as Creative and Cultural Skills and the new National College for Creative and Cultural Skills, to help address the challenges raised.
