Gender discrimination and bullying, and high levels of sexual harassment were reported.

The Incorporated Society of Musicians, (ISM), the UK’s professional body for musicians, has released its report into the level of sexual harassment, discrimination, bullying and inappropriate behaviour in the music sector.

The ISM’s research – an analysis of the data received via anonymous responses to a survey of the music profession which launched on 2 November 2017 and closed on 28 February – has revealed a disturbing culture of discriminatory behaviour, including sexual harassment, bullying and discrimination relating to all protected characteristics across the entire music sector.
