The BFI Diversity Standards are part of the eligibility criteria for several of our British awards, as part of our cross-industry drive to drive inclusion in the film, games and television industries.
In order to assist you in achieving the Standards, there are many fantastic resources produced by BAFTA partners such as Screenskills, CDN, The Film and Television Charity etc. You can search Screenskills’ Resource database for guidance on running mentoring schemes, tackling bullying and harassment, recruitment practices etc.
New resources which BAFTA has been involved in or lead the development of include:
• BAFTA’s Invisible Barriers resource – highlighting the lived experience of practitioners from low socio-economic backgrounds, as well as practical tips and guidance for how to improve socio-economic diversity amongst your team or workforce.
• The Film and Television Charity’s report into the experiences of Arab, Jewish and Muslim members of the workforce – this report includes recommendations drawn from an extensive consultation.
• The TV Access Project’s 5 A’s – a useful framework for planning for access for deaf, disabled and/or Neurodivergent talent.
• Bullying and Harassment Prevention Resource – alongside industry partners, BAFTA has created a set of simple actionable recommendations for workers and employers to tackle bullying and harassment.
