The One-Stop Diversity and Inclusion Support Service for the Entertainment Industry

The One-Stop Diversity and Inclusion Support Service for the Entertainment Industry

#NoMoreExcuses

What we do

Our industry is increasingly asking for diversity as a mandatory requirement and many organisations don’t know how to diversify their contacts in an effective way. With increased scrutiny and accountability in the entertainment industry affecting hiring and commissioning practices, Dandi offers the practical help you need.

Exceed targets

DandI offers production companies, organisations and broadcasters the tailored support they need, to not only meet diversity and inclusion targets, but to exceed them.

All levels

Operating as a single-point-of-contact, we utilise our UK wide, fully inclusive talent network (with a focus on under-represented groups, BAME, LGBTQ, Disabled, as well as addressing opportunity poverty and gender inequality). We can help you find on and off screen talent from all walks of life, and at all levels of experience – from trainee to HOD, intern to Executive or clerical to creative

Access to our network

From simply advertising roles across our network, to an end-to-end recruitment process, or targeted recommendations from our talent programmes alumni; we make it easy to find the talent you need with minimal drain on your resources

Bespoke support

Acting as a ‘bolt-on’ D&I Department for any organisation, we offer a bespoke and wrap around Support Service on the end of the phone, tailored to individual requirements and scale

Production companies working with DandI receive our mark of approval
showing their commitment to diversity and inclusion

Testimonials

  • Anjani Patel – Head of Diversity, PACT

    The TCN have been nurturing and supporting diverse talent for many years. Dandi helps pull together their talented network in one place for production companies to utilise with ease. It's a great help in crewing up and addressing on and off screen diversity and making sure production companies can meet broadcasters D&I targets.

  • Kwadjo Dajan – Co-Founder & Drama Creative Director, Sugar Films

    I've seen first hand the tangible outcomes The TCN have generated over the past 15 years and the impact it's had on our industry – both on and off screen. I love the fact that they are now launching Dandi off the back of the strong foundations they’ve already laid down. I’m sure it will be another great step towards making our industry a more inclusive and diverse place. It has my 100% backing.

  • Samantha Lawrence – MD, Monkey Kingdom (a division of NBC Universal)

    I have been waiting for a talent service like Dandi – in a world where finally diversity is being taken seriously, it will be invaluable to be able to tap into the expertise and relationships TCN has.

  • Saskia Schuster – Comedy Controller, ITV

    When presented with projects that don't hit our vital D&I targets, there is now a place I can direct production companies to that can effectively and tangibly solve their issues. If I see the Dandi mark, I know they are truly committed to an inclusive workforce.

  • Asif Zubairy – Commissioning Editor, Comedy and Entertainment, ITV

    I regularly see great projects from companies that are struggling to fulfil ITV's Social Partnership requirements on diversity. With 15 years of the TCN's talent development work behind it, Dandi is exactly the support they need. Their mark of approval shows me that production companies are serious about inclusion and are actively doing something about it, which gives me confidence they'll be able to hit those targets.
