Inclusion
Inclusion
BECTU Vision aims to help productions become more inclusive by making small adjustments to their film and TV workplace. This can include implementing formal recruitment procedures to ensure fairness and widen access to opportunities, considering the benefits and strengths of neurodiverse candidates and their skills, asking about access needs when onboarding new team members and practising inclusive communication.
Flexible working arrangements are a key part of the inclusive adjustments made within the industry.
ACCESSIBILITY
We strive to ensure that all of our resources, events and training opportunities are accessible.
Our website can be tailored to your preferences – from text size and line height to changing colours, removing images and adding a screen mask. Click on the accessibility icon in the bottom left hand corner to explore the options available.
