Real-Time Research Spotlights How "Silence Gap" On British TV Productions Costs Crew, Time & Money

EXCLUSIVE: Ian Katz acknowledged a gap between Channel 4’s decisions and contributors who feel let down. Real-time reaction data highlighted by Deadline show a 'silence gap' behind British TV productions. Talent Trust's Set Culture Report found that around 40% of respondents did not feel respected on the shows they worked on, and 76% worried they could not speak up without repercussions. Most of those expressing discontent were behind the camera. Experts say traditional duty-of-care models are reactive, relying on hotlines after the fact rather than proactive safeguarding.
