Creating Diverse and Inclusive Teams

We have put together a list of organisations and groups that can assist you with sourcing and developing relationships with talent from a wide range of underrepresented groups and specialisms. We encourage Producers and production companies to interact with these groups and develop relationships with the organisations to broaden the pool of talent you meet and choose from. 

This list will be updated so we encourage you to use this as a resource when crewing up your production teams.
