Why are we starting with schools? Every year, our young people enter the world of higher education/work without even knowing their own potential to influence what we see on the screens and the stage. When you actually watch the credits, you realise the possibilities.

@VivienKeene_act @SarahLHarkins Working class isn’t about accent, and it’s hard when people are judged on that, as there was a time when it was encouraged to adopt an RP to work in the creative arts, specifically on screen.
