If it happened on one of our programmes
Tell us.
Anything that happened on a Futures in Film programme, whoever was involved. You do not have to be certain and you do not have to have evidence.
You can report anonymously
It is acted on. Anonymity limits what can be done with it; it does not stop it being looked at
You are told who is looking at it
And what the possible outcomes are
Serious concerns go to statutory services
Where someone may have been harmed, it is referred to the police or the local authority
You never have to come to us first. The police, your local authority and every organisation above are open to you without our involvement.
