Equal Opportunities at Beacon Films

Beacon Films wants to work with people from as wide a range of backgrounds and identities as possible.

We want everyone who joins us to feel like they belong and they are safe.

We do not make assumptions about anyone’s identity.

So the way we find out whether we are working with people from a wide range of backgrounds is by asking you to fill in an equal opportunities form.

It is anonymous, meaning your name is not attached to any of your responses.

Where the words in our questions come from

• The question about ethnicity comes from the ONS (Office for National Statistics). You can find out more here.

• The question about disability comes from our own experience of working with disabled, autistic and neurodivergent filmmakers for many years. We base our questions on the Social Model of Disability which you can find out more about by clicking here.

• The question about gender comes from Stonewall’s “Do Ask Do Tell” guide

• The question about sexuality comes from Stonewall’s “Do Ask Do Tell” guide

• The question about age is based on the question that is asked by one of our funders.
