Everyone in music has the right to feel safe and respected at work, but how do you handle difficult behaviour? 

This session will equip you with the awareness and confidence to address challenging situations, while highlighting the support systems in place to help protect your wellbeing and career. 

Topics we’ll cover:
  • How to recognise when your boundaries are crossed and behaviour is not acceptable   
  • How to recognise bullying and harassment happening in music   
  • How to respond in the moment to difficult behaviour with clarity and confidence 
  • Emotional and practical support available to people in music if you experience or witness bullying, harassment or discrimination   
Tickets
  • Free for all members
