DIVERSITY +
INCLUSION POLICY

From spotlighting remarkable talent in rural Indian villages, to Britain’s only Muslim football manager, Amped Pictures has a record of championing stories from underrepresented communities. Off-screen we also recognise that diversity is a key driver of creative and innovate content; an essential element of a successful production company. We are committed to encouraging diversity and inclusion and ensuring there is no discrimination in our company. 

This policy applies to all staff including people working on as well as off-screen and provides a framework of equality and fairness for all in our employment. It expresses our commitment not to discriminate on the grounds of age, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender reassignment, marital status, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, national origin, religion or belief.

All members of the workforce will be treated fairly and with respect. Selection for employment will be on the basis of aptitude and ability. Access to opportunities for training or any other benefit will also be on the basis of aptitude and ability. All employees will be encouraged to develop their full potential and the talents and resources of the workforce will be fully utilised to maximise the creativity and success of the company. Breaches of the policy may be regarded as misconduct and could lead to disciplinary proceedings. The success of this policy is regularly monitored and reviewed.
