Eight “clear and simple” principles to tackle bullying and harassment in the UK’s screen industries have been published in an effort to stamp out abuse.
The guidance was welcomed by Margot James, the creative industries minister, who said it was an important first step to ensure change.
They include a shared responsibility to respect others and a zero-tolerance approach to bullying and harassment.
The British Film Institute (BFI) said the principles and zero-tolerance guidance, drawn up over the last three months, was a first for the UK film, television and video game industries.
