How accessible are film and TV productions? How inclusive is the screen industry? Is it sustainable? The ScreenSkills Podcast asks these questions and more to get the behind-the-scenes breakdown on all things production. We go behind the camera and hear from those making the content you love. We explore the UK screen industry with the help of those within it and unpick the stories that matter to them. In each monthly episode, we touch on different themes and hear how they impact the workforce. Learn more about The ScreenSkills Podcast: https://www.screenskills.com/podcast

7. In focus: disability, data, and the DNA of the UK screen workforce

In episode 7, we explore new research from ScreenSkills and 4Skills, conducted by Ampere Analysis, on the size and profile of the UK screen workforce. We hear from those involved in the study about how the findings will guide future policy, investment and decision-making.

We also speak to Sophie Morgan and Sarah Lazenby, the team behind Channel 4’s Fight to Fly, about the importance of accessibility and representation in television — both on and off screen.

Plus, we introduce Who Am I, a new segment spotlighting the people behind ScreenSkills. First up: bursaries programme manager Fergal McBride on how ScreenSkills bursaries help remove financial barriers to career progression.
