As part of our ongoing series of articles featuring BAFTA members with whom we work closely throughout the year, Louise Tutt, deputy editor of Screendaily and Screen International, spoke with the chairs of four BAFTA committees – Sara Putt (Television Committee chair and deputy chair of BAFTA), Anna Higgs (Film Committee chair), Tara Saunders (Games Committee chair) and Ade Rawcliffe (Learning, Inclusion and Talent Committee chair) – to discuss their experiences as women in the creative sector ahead of this year's International Women's Day.

New CEO, Jane Millichip, wants to harness BAFTA's power to inspire talent of the future and drive progress within the film, games and TV industries.

As part of a new series of features and to mark the UN’s International Day of People with Disabilities on Saturday, we spoke to Sam Tatlow – creative diversity partner at ITV and chair of BAFTA's disability advisory group – and Andrew Miller – disability champion, broadcaster and BAFTA trustee – who shared with us their experiences of working in the screen industries, their thoughts on BAFTA’s commitment to improving access for deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people, and what the industry needs to do next.
