@SWIFT - Sisters Working in Film & Television together with @KwaZulu-Natal Film Commission empowered industry practitioners through the Safety Contact Officer Programme.
Did you know that the SWIFT Safety Contact Officer Programme (SCO) has been recognised as international best practice, and was presented in Berlin to the German Actors Guilt alongside the Intimacy Coordinating and the British Film Institute’s Wellbeing Facilitator project? The programme is inspired by research conducted by SWIFT which demonstrated that there is a need for this service. As there was no reporting mechanism or platform for incidents of sexual harassment.
As productions continue year-round, our SCOs are available for booking as independent, trained in the legal framework of sexual harassment who work closely with producers and crew to support everyone in the creation of a safe and respectful environment.
● They provide support and are give insights to your legal rights
● Guide you on a step by step process and procedures to be followed when reporting
incidents of sexual harassment
● Guide you on a step by step process and procedures to be followed when
addressing sexual harassment
● They are professionals who are independent and impartial
Are you ensuring your production shoots are safe and governed with good practice? Book your workshop with Lerato, the SWIFT administrator: admin@swiftsa.org.za. For complaints send an email to sco@swiftsa.org.za!
By the end of this workshop, participants will be empowered with the knowledge and tools needed to achieve creating a workplace environment aware of behaviour and supported by a robust framework of awareness, prevention, and reporting mechanisms.
