Our Guiding Principles
- We do not replace existing legal due process or HR complaints functions; rather we address a void – the creative industries is one of the only sectors that does not have an independent place to report poor standards of behaviour.
- We will investigate without fear or favour and are able to do so, as funding for CIISA will be drawn from a separate entity, the CIISA finance board. The identity of funders will be unknown to those working within CIISA. This model is used by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
- By virtue of our existence, CIISA has both a preventative and pro-active role in tackling bullying and harassment.
- You cannot raise standards without tackling discrimination – CIISA has embedded anti-discrimination measures into the heart of its proposed governance model.
- How creative contents is made, is of equal significance to the creative content itself.
