About

Built from inside
the industry.

The Standard was founded by Frances — a music industry consultant, artist manager and specialist trainer who has spent years working at the intersection of music, safety and advocacy.

This isn't generic corporate training. This is specialist knowledge, industry experience and personal commitment to making music a safer space for everyone in it.
