Black Lives Matter at the National Opera Studio

  • Natalya Best-Forbes

With the backing of the Board of Trustees and Senior Management Team, I led a small group of NOS staff who together, we created a transparent, action based statement in response to the Black Lives Matter protests taking place worldwide. This statement now holds the organisation accountable to the commitments in the statement and communicates clearly the organisation's standpoint on anti-racism, diversity and inclusion. The full statement is here: https://www.nationaloperastudio.org.uk/News/black-lives-matter-at-the-national-opera-studio I went on to Chair the Inclusion Group (renamed from the Inclusivity Action Group)
