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. Once operational, all funding will be administered by CIISABOF and will CIISA will be entirely independent in it’s operational activities. This model is similar to that 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.
