Friday Figures - 9 Apr

10 current participants of the Keychange Programme have been eligible for, and provided with, a bursary for parental support to use to cover childcare costs how they need in order to facilitate their participation in the programme. From day care cover for the days the parent has to travel for their participation in Keychange, to contribution towards the extra costs of bringing the child(ren) and caregiver along on a trip, parenthood should not be a barrier and hindrance to continue working in the music industry and we hope to encourage others to find ways to do so in their contexts. This could be in the form of simple childcare facilities, crèche, a quiet space, child friendly/conscious backstage areas, flexible working patterns in the office - there is always something.
