You should commit to showing authentic portrayals of working class lives and communities on screen. Explore where working class stories naturally live – not only in gritty realism, but also in humour, sci-fi, game shows, unscripted formats and fantasy. Class experience isn’t a genre, it’s a lens.

STARTING QUESTIONS

• Can you put working class experiences at the heart of the story?
• Are you challenging assumptions about working class characters or contributors, such as how they talk, how they live and what they do? Do you have the right team in place to do this with confidence and sensitivity?
• Can you create opportunities for working class creatives to tell those stories across different genres, from entertainment to drama?
• Do working class creatives have a say in shaping slates, not just contributing scripts or pitches.
