RTS West of England has teamed up with the Film and TV Charity to deliver an introduction to The Whole Picture Toolkit: For Mentally Healthy Productions.
A free to use website, The Whole Picture Toolkit has been created by the Film and TV Charity and a coalition of industry partners and bodies, freelancers, individual trailblazers, mental health experts, and sector practitioners. It gives anyone working in production – from those working on large scale productions to those operating on a shoestring – the tools they may need to improve working environments and the industry’s wider approach to mental health.
The launch of the Toolkit in March this year comes after the charity unveiled its Let’s Reset behaviour change campaign in October 2021, calling on leaders from across the industry to commit to the action needed to improve wellbeing and to destigmatise the conversation about mental health. The Whole Picture Toolkit is the key to HOW the industry can start to action changes.
It’s already creating positive changes in the film and TV industry.
Find out how to put the toolkit into practice by attending our workshop on 20th June, 3-5pm at SquareWorks, 15 Berkeley Square Bristol BS8 1HB
The workshop will be led by Valeria Bullo, the Lead for Mentally Healthy Productions at the Film and TV Charity.
Free to RTS Members, £5 for Non RTS Members. Tea and coffee will be served.

These sessions take place every other Friday morning from 8.30-9am, for the BCI community to share their pearls of wisdom with one another. The half hour webinars will involve a 15 minute presentation followed by a 10 minute facilitated Q&A, with introductions from the BCI team.
Our community is full of such amazing talent so we’re giving members the stage to talk about things that excite them so they can inspire their peers. The sessions will be a mix of expert tips and tricks and case studies – the perfect opportunity to learn something new before the week is out.
Our usual online format is an interactive ‘meeting’ but for this series we’re running webinars so that it’s easy to listen in while prepping for the day ahead or while having your breakfast! Cameras and mics will be off but you can ask your questions through the chat box or submit them beforehand.
Please get in touch with Sian if you’re interested in speaking at a future session.

Women over 50 are the fastest growing demographic in the workforce, and a significant percentage of these woman are likely to be in senior/leadership roles, plus on the front line of client relationships. 25% of menopausal woman say it can have a ‘debilitating’ effect on their ability to do their job, but unfortunately due to lack of awareness and societal shame, this is issue is not acknowledged enough in the workplace.
What can you do if you manage a team that includes women who could be heading towards menopause if you know nothing about it, and wouldn’t have much of a clue how to tackle a conversation about it?
Thanks to recent high profile TV documentaries and regular coverage in the national news, awareness of the menopause and its effects has increased but the conversation needs to be opened up further. There are major employers who are flag carriers for menopause policy and benefits, such as Channel 4, and we can learn a lot from their work to date. However, what can smaller organisations do, perhaps with less resource or financial clout? Kinneir Dufort are more representative of BCI members and are starting to kick off this discussion internally – hear Head of Team Development Tamsin’s thoughts on what they are doing, and what more needs to be done.
Join Fi and Tamsin for this online session as they discuss why this is such a relevant topic for the workplace, why is it not spoken enough about currently, and what business leaders can do to address this and get the ball rolling. Further resources will be shared, plus there will be opportunities at the end for attendees to share their thoughts and ask any questions they may have.
Please note: this session is for anyone responsible for people initiatives within their business (such as Founders, MDs, HR, Line Managers etc), it is NOT a support session for members who are experiencing symptoms of menopause 🙂

She is skilled at having difficult conversations, and tackling thorny subjects with ease, humour and purpose. As a senior woman in agency-land, and as a coach to multiple senior women, Fi has seen how both the bias towards youth and the lack of even basic menopause-awareness can make the workplace especially challenging for older women, especially those at the peak of their careers.

As an organisation, Kinneir Dufort is motivated by Designing a Better World, and recognises that it can only design products & experiences for a diverse global society by having a team that reflects that.
