The Equalities Charter for Film is a public pledge, developed by the Leadership on Diversity forum, which is led by the UK Film Council and is made up of key companies, guilds, unions and trade associations in the film sector. The charter is a significant step towards an equality standard which will both help the industry realise the opportunities from diversity in film and provide a framework for action.

By signing the charter, the members of the forum commit to using their influence to create a socially and culturally diverse industry in which people from all backgrounds can thrive and achieve their potential. The charter acknowledges how the industry can achieve this by:

• identifying and tackling barriers that lead to exclusion in the workforce
• encouraging people from all communities to access film culture
• increasing on-screen diversity.

The Diversity in Film website has been created to serve as a knowledge exchange and ideas support forum for the Leadership on Diversity members and other participants interested in increasing diversity in film.
