I just wanted to flag some training modules I've had access to via @ScreenSkills - times are tough, but there are funded training courses around for anyone with time to up-skill. I completed a fantastic thought provoking course on Welfare and Duty of Care for Contributors, taking additional independent modules that compliment this area from Safeguarding to Diversity & Inclusion and all of it was fully funded.

When I was young there were so few resources for producers and crew and all too often I've found myself in a seat interviewing someone who has been traumatised or who is vulnerable. I try to be mindful of how my crews are during the filming of tough subjects and about being responsible for the contributors in my care but I'm not a therapist. Even when you've been doing something a long time, it's good to refresh your knowledge regarding policies and best practice. This course was really valuable.

To that end I wanted to signpost @ScreenSkills, Solas Mind and Film in Mind. Thank you 🙏 😊
