Statement from CIISA, the independent body being established to uphold and improve standards of behaviour across the creative industries

ByTimes Up UK Editor

The establishment of an independent body for the creative industries, CIISA, is now in advanced discussions with the creative sectors in the UK. CIISA is currently developing its services and structure, which will give individuals working in the creative industries a trusted place to go for mediation, seek advice, dispute resolution and crucially, investigation. CIISA is now moving into preparation ahead of going live and further announcements will be made shortly. The creative industries is one of the only sectors that does not have an independent place to confidentially raise concerns about behaviour. The news this weekend further underlines the need for this critical intervention. There are no legal or technical impediments to building CIISA. It is simply about collective will.
