Introduction:  

The UK screen sector is built on creativity, collaboration, and innovation - but when gender bias enters the picture, it narrows perspectives, limits opportunity, and diminishes the stories we tell. From crew lists to casting, from the writers’ room to the edit suite - gender bias, both conscious and unconscious, affects who gets hired, heard, promoted, and credited. 

It’s not just a question of fairness - it’s about what our industry could be if it worked equally for everyone. When we tackle bias, we open up the space for new voices, stronger teams, and more authentic content.
