Creating Safe Spaces in European Cinema

Sexual Harassment, Abuse and Bullying Policy

Sexual Harassment, Abuse and Bullying Policy Detailed

The European Film Academy is committed to fostering a film industry where everyone can thrive creatively in environments free from sexual harassment, abuse, bullying, and discrimination. We believe that great cinema emerges when all professionals feel safe, respected, and valued.

Our Zero Tolerance Commitment

We have zero tolerance for any form of sexual harassment, abuse, bullying, discrimination, or victimisation within our organisation and activities. This commitment extends to all staff, board members, jury participants, event attendees, and anyone connected to European Film Academy activities across Europe.

What We Address

Our comprehensive policy covers:

Sexual harassment: Unwanted conduct of a sexual nature, including verbal comments, physical contact, digital harassment, and creating hostile environments
Abuse: Psychological, professional, financial, and digital abuse that exploits power imbalances and causes harm
Bullying: Repeated unreasonable behaviour that creates risks to health and safety, including direct aggression, undermining, and social isolation
Victimisation: Retaliation against those who report inappropriate behaviour or support others in doing so

Who Is Protected

This policy protects everyone in our community:

European Film Academy staff, board members, and committee
Participants of the Academy Knowledge Sharing programmes
Event speakers, panelists, and attendees
Industry professionals at our activities
Volunteers and interns

The policy applies to all European Film Academy activities, whether in-person or virtual, during work hours or at industry events, and includes travel and accommodation arrangements.

How to Report and Get Support

If you experience or witness inappropriate behaviour:

Immediate safety: Remove yourself from unsafe situations and seek help
Document: Record details of incidents including dates, witnesses, and what happened
Report: Use our confidential reporting channels
Seek support: Access counselling, legal advice, and professional support services

We provide multiple reporting options including anonymous channels and work with Europeanlevel support organizations, national helplines, and industry-specific services. Our Response

We take all reports seriously with:

Acknowledgment within 24 hours
Thorough, impartial investigations
Appropriate disciplinary action when inappropriate behaviour is confirmed
Support for all parties involved
Protection against retaliation

Consequences range from formal warnings and mandatory training to termination of employment or exclusion from European Film Academy activities, depending on the severity of the behaviour.

We invest in creating positive workplace cultures through:

Mandatory training for all staff and participants
Cultural competency education for international teams
Bystander intervention training
Regular policy updates and awareness campaigns
Clear behavioural expectations at all events

Everyone’s Responsibility

Creating safe, inclusive environments is everyone’s responsibility. We all have a role in:

Challenging inappropriate behaviour when we see it
Supporting colleagues who experience harassment, abuse, or bullying
Promoting inclusive practices in our daily work
Refusing to participate in or enable harmful conduct

Taking Action

If you’re experiencing or witnessing inappropriate behaviour, don’t wait – speak up. You have the right to work in an environment free from harassment, abuse, and bullying, and we’re here to support you.

This policy is reviewed annually and updated based on feedback from our community and changes in European legislation. Together, we’re building a film industry where everyone can contribute their best work to safety and dignity.
