More than half of the UK’s film and TV industry workforce experienced bullying, harassment or discrimination in the past year, according to alarming statistics from The Film & TV Charity …
, which surveyed more than 2,000 people, found 57% had been targeted by these unacceptable behaviours in 2021. Broken down, around 40% said they had experienced bullying, 39% racial harassment or discrimination and 11% sexual harassment.
There is, however, a “real cross-industry effort to tackle the issue through multiple angles,” added the charity boss, pointing to her organization’s bullying advice work, updated principles from the BFI and BAFTA and industry body ScreenSkills’ training. “We heard from people working in the industry that mental health is now part of the conversation in a way that it wasn’t two years ago” she added, pointing out that mental health in society has “deteriorated as a whole” during the pandemic.
Furthermore, the number of Black, Asian or minority ethnic individuals reporting good mental health fell by 6% from 2019 and disabled respondents dipped 4%, bucking the overall plateauing trend.
