Industry Inclusion Group
Supported by
The Industry Inclusion Group (IIG) is part of Making Creativity Works, led by Signpost Productions, delivered in partnership with Beacon Films, and supported by the North of Tyne Combined Authority and ITV. The Industry Inclusion Group is further-supported by Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
The Industry Inclusion Group (IIG) aims to provide a mutual learning environment for people from a variety of screen and cultural-sector organisations to:
learn from each other about how we can continually improve the inclusion of Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent (DDN) talent within our workforces.
shape Signpost Productions’ and Beacon Films’ Making Creativity Works programme as well as their ongoing work, to support more Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent (DDN) talent into the North East’s screen sector.
In the spirit of 'nothing about us without us', at each meeting we survey attendees to find out what proportion identify as Deaf, Disabled and/or Neurodivergent. DDN. Currently approximately 50% of group attendees are DDN.
