Diversity
Diversity is one of our key policy priorities. We aim to help the UK film industry build a more diverse workforce: behind and in front of the camera.
Our diversity objectives
- We aim to help the UK film industry build a more diverse workforce: behind and in front of the camera and in other linked areas, including development, production, post-production, distribution and exhibition.
- We want to help all groups in society to participate in and enjoy film.
- We work hard to make sure that equality and diversity commitments are integrated into all core UK Film Council activities.
Taking action on diversity
- We work with various interest groups and industry partners to create ways of working that support equal opportunities and diversity in the film industry.
- We provide practical tools and information to encourage diversity.
- We make sure all our funding criteria and application processes are 'equality-proofed'.
- We support initiatives designed to give people from minority ethnic groups, people with disabilities and women equal opportunities to get into and succeed in the UK film industry.
- We support activities and events that champion and celebrate diversity in film, film making and film viewing.
Our Diversity Unit provides grant-in-aid funding for programmes that support our diversity objectives. It does not fund film productions.
