Attitude Is Everything is a charity that aims to improve Deaf and disabled people’s access to live music by working in partnership with audiences, artists and the music industry to implement a Charter of Best Practice. They run a Mystery Shopping project to gather information about the state of access in music venues and festivals across the country.
The quality of the recommendations they make and the subsequent improvements made to venues directly correlates with the quality of feedback they garner from our Mystery Shoppers and they are currently trying to ensure they take this feedback from as wide a range of Deaf and disabled customers as possible.
They are looking for Mystery Shoppers.
About Mystery Shopping
The Mystery Shopping Project is the keystone of their work. They have a team of Deaf and disabled ‘Mystery Shoppers’ across the UK who go to gigs, concerts and festivals and give feedback on what they experience. It is these reports that inform their work with music venues and festivals, both in the ongoing assessment of Charter venues and in discovering issues, both positive and negative, with other venues. They pass on feedback, helping venues to identify barriers and offering training and auditing services so that they may improve their access.
