In addition to these guidelines Channel 4 have our own Covid Filming Guidelines which should be obtained from your Commissioning Editor. Both sets of guidelines should be read when planning filming.
Creative Contract
We believe the relationship between Channel 4 and producers is at the heart of our success. We want it to be a genuine creative partnership: empowering, collaborative and candid. That's why we've produced a "creative contract" to spell out how we want to work together.
To find out more about our promise to producers, please access the Creative Contract here.
