It's been a long week, a highlight for me was meeting these two legends, sounds engineers, at the #DNW2024 event. They've set up a WhatsApp group for women in this very male dominated role in the industry to provide support to one another. Enjoyed representing @Bectu on the panel

Great to be with Jane Hill Dr Shani Dhanda BFI Women in Film & TV (UK) Mission Accomplished ScreenSkills Sara Putt Associates BBCWiSTEM & loads more at 'Deeds not Words' yesterday, discussing what works and what doesn't to achieve gender equity in the screen industries. #DNW2024

'The industry needs to get behind job sharing & flexible working. Other sectors make it work, & you simply get more out of people when you commit to better accommodating them.'

Head of Bectu Philippa Childs on the need to better support women to sustain careers in film & TV.
