🎬 Tip #4 – Don’t step up to the next position until you’re ready.

It’s imperative to make sure you have the skills and training relevant to the job you’re stepping up to. Being under-qualified or inexperienced is a health and safety issue.

Yes, it’s tempting to accept a job that’s the next rung on the ladder, but be responsible and ask yourself, do I have the skills? If not, you could be putting yourself and those around you in potential danger.

🎬 Tip #3 - Always do your due diligence before hiring crew.

In our industry, safety is the number one priority, and this starts with who you’re hiring.

Always make sure you do due diligence before you hire someone, especially if they are not known to you. 🙏

CVs and showreels have to be backed up with evidence. Go onto IMDb and check out their credits.
Call previous employers to get references.

Not doing proper due diligence can lead to employing an individual without the relevant skills, and this can have devastating consequences!

Huge thanks to Campbell Mitchell, chargehand standby prop, for once again organising an auction on his current production, the second season of Happy Tramp’s ‘Only Child’ for the BBC to raise funds for the Foundation.

He captured a photo of crew sheltering under umbrellas, had it printed on archival paper, professionally framed and then auctioned it to the crew.

The winning bid was topped by Executive Producer Neil Webster, raising an initial £1,100 for the Foundation. He then generously raffled the print to the other bidders, which meant the print went to Script Supervisor Ula Kocol.

And to top it off, the Director, John Addis, purchased a secondary print with the proceeds also donated to us! This meant a total of £1,600 was raised for the Foundation. 🙏🙏🙏

Donations like these directly support the Foundation’s mission and without them, we simply couldn’t continue the work we do!
