UPDATE: Friday 26^th June 2020–

As Film, TV and Commercial productions are beginning to restart after lockdown. We have to remember that this won't last forever, and try to focus on getting through this challenging time. In the coming months and years, we are likely to be able to return to something more akin to the 'old normal', but hopefully with a smarter way of working here to stay. We want to reassure you that we are taking the issue of restarting work seriously. The welfare of all our artistes, staff, production staff and their families remain our utmost priority.

Slick Casting and all production companies are now working to the guidelines dates 1^st June 2020 from from the British Film Commission ‘Working safely during Covid-19 in Film and high end TV Drama Production’ and the ‘APA Covid -19 Shooting Guidelines’ to get us all back to work safely. Pact, British Film Commission, Bectu, the APA and others have all released production guidance - and that's just in the UK.

As part of our commitment to provide a safe working environment for all on set during the unprecedented, fast-changing COVID-19 situation, our artists will be required to acknowledge that they have read, understood and agreed to this Health Declaration prior to any filming:
