This page shows how Diamond works from start to finish.
If you're looking for detailed guidance, you'll find step-by-step instructions for each user group in the Help Centre from 8 September.
1. Broadcasters set up projects
When a broadcaster commissions a production, they create a project in Diamond and assign it to the production company.
2. Production companies invite cast & crew
Production companies upload a list of the people working on the project. They also link post-production suppliers, who add their teams too.
Diamond then invites everyone to complete a short survey.
3. Cast & crew complete the survey
Cast, crew, contributors and staff share responses about themselves and their work in the industry.
​
The survey takes around five minutes to complete. Once completed, they can reuse the same information for future projects.
4. Diamond protects
all responses
Diamond encrypts, anonymises and protects individual responses using advanced privacy technology.
​
No individual responses are visible to anyone other than the person who provided them.
5. Diamond offers
industry insights
Diamond combines responses from across the industry to build a clearer picture of representation, workforce experiences and opportunities in television.
6. The industry
takes action
Broadcasters, industry bodies and creative companies use Diamond insights to inform strategies, programmes and initiatives that support a fairer and more inclusive television industry.
Diamond helps us understand what is working, where barriers remain, and where more action is needed to create lasting change.
