Speaking Up in the Creative Industries – Embedding Standards in Practice
%20(1).png)
With the CIISA Standards having been in place for a year and with the introduction of the Employment Rights Act, expectations around creating a healthy and effective speak up culture are shifting. Organisations being asked to move beyond policy and demonstrate how they are creating real, effective speak-up cultures.
In this on-demand webinar, join Culture Shift and the Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority (CIISA) for a practical panel discussion, exploring what’s really happening across the sector, and what it means for how organisations approach reporting and culture.
You will hear what organisations are experiencing on the ground, the common barriers to reporting, where traditional approaches may be falling short, the economic impact of workplace conflict, and how user-led research is informing the design of CIISA’s services.
In this session, we explore:
- What organisations across the creative industries are seeing when it comes to speaking up
- The most common barriers to reporting, including trust and underreporting
- How power dynamics – including freelance work and hierarchical structures – impact behaviour
- Why policies and procedures don’t always translate into practice
- Practical steps to strengthen speak-up culture and improve confidence in reporting

The launch of the CIISA standards marked a significant moment for the creative industries, signalling growing recognition of the need for stronger protections around bullying, harassment and misconduct across film, television and wider media environments. But in a recent article for Broadcast Now, we highlight that whistleblowing protections alone will not solve the deeper cultural issues that have allowed harmful behaviour to persist for years.
