“There isn’t sufficient support for people in the right place at the right time and in the right way,” Alex Pumfrey, CEO of The Film and TV Charity, tells. “There are big, seismic shifts that need to happen and they are certainly not going to happen overnight.” The program will launch officially in April, with plans for an enhanced 24/7 Film and TV Support Line, peer-to-peer support and a behaviour change campaign in the first year alone. Year two goals include building an industry-wide peer support and self-help network, advanced training courses and production protocols with best-practice guidelines.
“Our sense is that the dial has moved on sexual harassment since the revelations of widespread sexual harassment in our industry here and abroad in 2017, but bullying is still endemic within ,” says Pumfrey. In broadcasting, bullying, poor mental health and a desire to leave the industry were contributing factors, while in distribution, anxiety, an alcohol-focused culture and feeling undervalued were common complaints. Within cinema and exhibition, respondents admitted to self-harm, suicidal thoughts and attempts.
