A Safe and Respectful Working Environment in the Arts: Discussion
Ms Siobhán Bourke:
I will respond to the question that was asked about experiences across art forms. A table on page 37 of the report breaks down the experiences of our respondents by art form. It shows that between 66%, at the lowest, and 79%, at the highest, of respondents across all art forms have experienced an incident. Dance is the highest at 79%. The lowest at 66% is arts participation and visual arts. In terms of people witnessing incidents, the figures are similar. They go from a high of 68% in opera down to a low 48% in visual arts and in other art forms. This is experienced across all art forms. That is the result from our research.
