For the screen sector, businesses can show their support for good working practices, by signposting the FWA’s reporting services:

• those who are being seriously abused or exploited at work, or controlled, threatened or manipulated (abuse of power) are encouraged to call the police if there is an immediate risk of injury, and to report the abuse to the FWA by online form, email or phone; and
• those who are concerned about working time limits, or National Minimum Wage (handled by the HMRC on behalf of the FWA for at least the first year) are encouraged to complete the HMRC form. 

All reports are to be handled on a “proportionate, risk-based (and digital-first) approach that supports the many businesses that want to do the right thing, while taking robust action against serious non-compliance.” (Strategic steer to the Fair Work Agency for the transitional year of operation, 7 April 2026). 

It has an initial budget of £60.1m, to continue the current work of the predecessor bodies, and to reduce regulatory burdens, gather data, and increase both public awareness and stakeholder engagement.

The FWA will adopt a “proactive enforcement approach to prevent exploitation and ensure compliance with employment law and standards” in sectors and situations identified as high-risk, and to investigate reports of modern slavery in all industry sectors. No indication has been given so far as to whether the screen sector has been identified as high-risk.
