Safeguarding Services:
Risk Assessments & On-Set Oversight

We provide comprehensive safeguarding risk assessments tailored to the needs of each production. Our approach ensures that every scene, location, and workflow is reviewed through a child-centred, welfare-focused lens while maintaining creative integrity.

Our risk assessment service includes:

• Script & Scene Analysis
  Identifying safeguarding considerations within scripts, including sensitive themes, emotional intensity, and scenes involving children, teens, or vulnerable contributors.
• Child Performance Assessments
  Evaluating what is appropriate for minors to perform and advising on alternative approaches, adjustments, or creative solutions where needed.
• Environment & Location Review
  Assessing potential hazards, privacy issues, and supervision requirements in all filming environments—studios, public spaces, and remote locations.
• Mitigation Strategies
  Providing clear, practical measures to reduce risk, including scheduling guidance, additional welfare support, emotional preparation, and controlled access on set.

For productions requiring hands-on safeguarding support, we offer on-set consultancy to help create a safe, respectful, and well-managed environment for everyone involved.
