Intimacy & consent

Agreed action, closed-set arrangements and boundaries.

Discuss the intended action, boundaries and closed-set arrangements before filming. Know who to speak to when a boundary changes or the agreed plan is not being followed.

Sources for this topic

Refer to the performer agreement and the relevant union’s guidance. An intimacy coordinator or other appropriate specialist should address production-specific questions.

Questions before work starts

  • Who is the contact for questions or changes to consent?
  • Have the action, closed-set access and rules for recording been agreed?
  • How can someone pause, revisit or decline an activity?

Your supervisor or qualified specialist still needs to assess the task and explain the procedure.
