THE SHOCKING STATISTICS:
In 2019 a UK study found that a staggering 38 reality TV stars had died by suicide around the world
following their appearances on shows such as Love Island, Jeremy Kyle and Big Brother.
And in 2020, The Film and TV Charity published ‘The Looking Glass Report' highlighting the results of a survey
of the mental health and well-being of over 9000 workers in the UK Film and TV sector that revealed:
87% of workers had suffered mental ill health.
55% of workers in the industry had considered taking their own lives.
THE SOLUTION:
By prioritising the welfare of contributors and the emotional wellbeing of cast and crew,
you can create content that is not only awe-inspiring but also responsible and ethical.
Fiona can provide guidance, strategies and expertise to ensure your production
is covering the legal requirements for mental health in the workplace whilst also taking a proactive
and practical approach to implementing robust duty of care procedures for contributors and cast.
