UK Film Council

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.
