Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Policy

    EDI Policy for Filmmaking Lifestyle

    1. Introduction

    Filmmaking Lifestyle is committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion across everything we do — from the content we publish to the contributors we work with and the community we serve.

    2. Our Commitment

    • Equality: We treat every individual fairly and without discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic.
    • Diversity: We actively seek out a range of voices and perspectives — including underrepresented filmmakers and storytellers — in our editorial output.
    • Inclusion: We work to ensure our platform is accessible and welcoming to everyone regardless of background or identity.

    3. Scope

    This policy applies to our editorial team, contributors, contractors, and partners. It also shapes how we select topics, commission content, and engage with our readership.

    4. Implementation

    • Recruitment: We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and ensure selection is based on skill, experience, and fit.
    • Training: Contributors and team members are made aware of our EDI commitments and expected to uphold them.
    • Community Engagement: We engage with diverse filmmaking communities and reflect global perspectives in our coverage.
    • Accessibility: We aim to make our content readable and navigable by as wide an audience as possible.

    5. Accountability

    • Responsibility: Matt Crawford, as founder, takes overall responsibility for EDI at Filmmaking Lifestyle.
    • Monitoring: We review our editorial output periodically to identify gaps in representation.
    • Feedback: Readers and contributors are encouraged to raise concerns or suggestions via our contact page.

    6. Complaints

    Any complaints relating to discrimination or breach of this policy will be taken seriously and investigated promptly. Contact us at [email protected].

    7. Review and Update

    This policy is reviewed annually and updated as necessary to reflect changes in legislation, best practice, or our organisational context.
