Producers' Alliance for Cinema and Television (PACT)

Pact is the UK trade association that represents and promotes the commercial interests of independent content producers from feature film, television, children's & animation and interactive media companies. Headquartered in London, Pact has regional representation throughout the UK, in order to support its members.

Pact's Diversity Pledge is a voluntary pledge, which all Pact members are invited to sign. In doing so, they express their commitment to diversity in the production sector to their peers, broadcasters and key stakeholders.

To help Pact members deliver on the commitments in the pledge quickly and efficiently, we have put together a Pact Diversity Toolkit. Each section of the guide relates to one of the commitments in the pledge, and it includes all the contacts, guidance and sample forms needed to fulfil the pledge.

The guide is focused on providing practical information, for example how to link up with local schools in a strategic way, or what to do if you are considering interviewing a person with a disability.

The Pledge is backed by broadcasters including Channel 4, Five and ITV, as well as key stakeholders, who see it as a way for Pact members to show their commitment to diversity, both in front of and behind the camera.
