Equalities Charter for Film
The Equalities Charter for Film is a public pledge developed by the Leadership on Diversity Forum. This forum, led by the UK Film Council, includes businesses, guilds, unions and trade associations from the film industry.
Forum members signed up to the charter have committed to use their influence to create a socially and culturally diverse film industry in which people from all backgrounds can thrive and achieve their potential.
Signatories of the charter pledge to:
- Identify and tackle the barriers that lead to exclusion and under-representation in the film industry.
- Encourage people from all communities to access and enjoy film culture.
- Welcome employees from all communities and adopt the best possible practices and policies to achieve an industry that reflects and serves the diversity of our society.
- Encourage skilled and talented individuals from all communities to progress their careers at all levels, and in all areas, of the UK film industry.
- Develop and adopt internal equality and diversity policies and practices (including equalities training for personnel), monitor and update them.
- Celebrate and promote on-screen diversity.
