Our Purpose & Vision

Corporate Strategy

The purpose of the Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority (CIISA) is to uphold and improve standards of behaviour across the creative industries and to prevent and tackle all forms of bullying and harassment, including bullying and harassment of a discriminatory nature.

Following a significant period of discussion with the creative industries, we are now in the next stages of development for CIISA.

In our first iteration, CIISA will support the film, TV, theatre and music industries. We are heartened by the positive groundswell of support.

CIISA’s vision is to create consistently safe and inclusive workplaces for creative industry professionals through pro-active interventions and advice, providing a single place of accountability where behaviours of concern can be reported and investigated, and building capability to prevent and tackle bullying and harassment and bullying and harassment of a discriminatory nature.

Have your say

CIISA Standards consultation now open.

The CIISA Standards (‘the Standards’) are a set of expectations that set out the minimum standards of behaviour expected across the creative industries to enable safe and inclusive working environments. This includes preventing and tackling of all forms of bullying and harassment, including bullying and harassment of a discriminatory nature.

We invite you to comment on the draft CIISA Standards which have been compiled this year through detailed and extensive collaboration with key bodies in the film, TV, theatre and music sectors. Please take time to read the CIISA Standards and share your feedback via the feedback form, link below. Our consultation period runs until 10am on Monday 27 January 2025. Following the industry consultation, the final Standards will be launched in February 2025.
