The Coalition for Change, the UK freelance collective set up in 2020, has set out a long-term strategy including a target to create a pipeline for its freelancers‘ charter at the begininng, middle and end of all TV productions.
In an email sent out to members, seen by Deadline, Coalition founder Adeel Amini said the charter will relaunch soon to “establish it within the public consciousness,” with additions from newer member groups such as the Jack Thorne-backed TV Access Project and CIISA, the new independent anti-bullying complaints body, which will go live next year.
Unveiled at Edinburgh TV Festival in 2021, the charter sets out terms for freelancers in areas such as recruitment, workplace culture, bullying and harassment, and conduct. It was adopted by British broadcasters, some streamers and trade bodies such as Pact and the BFI.
“We would like to create a pipeline for the Charter at the beginning, middle, and end of productions,” said Amini’s email, which he added would entail a course from training body ScreenSkills in the charter at the start of every production.
Amini said the charter had “not had the impact we would have liked after its launch” but that it “remains a document we should feel proud of and keep pushing.”
He is taking over as Chair of Coalition for Change, with Matt Travers and Emma Hardy stepping down, and Amini communicated a desire in today’s email to turn the Chair role into a part-time paid position housed under an established organization.
Going forwards, the Coalition would also like to take the temperature of the freelance community via a survey and do more to establish the charter “within the public consciousness,” he said.

However, there was another actress long before Rosie that brought the young daughter of Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles) and Ashley Thomas (John Middleton) to life on screen, and that was child actress Annelise Manojlovic who famously played the character from 2001 up until 2015.

We want to inspire passion and fervor, because reactions of ‘not bad’ do not encourage subscriptions.” Saada is being honored at Mipcom with the Variety Vanguard Award.
