Contributor welfare governance for film & TV

Identify welfare gaps before production risk becomes reputational crisis.

Welfare Audit is a secure audit platform for production companies, broadcasters and welfare teams. It helps assess whether contributor care is clinically led, properly documented and robust enough to withstand scrutiny.

The platform

One place to run and evidence a welfare governance audit for every production.

Production companies can create an audit for each show, complete a structured risk profiler, upload relevant documents into each section and generate a report identifying strengths, missing safeguards and recommended actions.

01

Create production audits

Capture genre, stage, contributor profile, broadcaster, format risk and production context.

02

Upload evidence

Add welfare protocols, consent forms, clinical contracts, aftercare plans and escalation pathways.

03

Analyse gaps

Review evidence against a 12-domain welfare governance framework and identify missing controls.

04

Generate reports

Create a board-ready summary with risk ratings, critical gaps and recommended actions.

The audit framework

Built around the full contributor journey.

Welfare Audit assesses the production system, not just the presence of welfare support. The central question is whether the system is clinically led or merely clinically accompanied.

Independent Welfare Governance Self-Audit Report

Overall risk rating Significant
Evidence strength Partial
Critical domains Clinical leadership, aftercare, adverse outcome review

The uploaded evidence indicates visible welfare processes, but the production appears clinically accompanied rather than fully clinically led.

Evidence-led reporting

Reports that are clear enough for senior production teams and robust enough for governance review.

Welfare Audit formulates domain-by-domain findings, highlights missing safeguards and creates practical action plans before casting, filming, transmission and post-broadcast aftercare.

  • Risk rating by production and domain
  • Critical gap alerts
  • Suggested evidence to request
  • Recommended actions and implementation plan
  • Clear disclaimers around clinical, legal and regulatory limits
