The following statements set out the values Film Access Scotland, its members and associates share and the principles which they adopt in designing and delivering their Film Access programmes, initiatives and activities.  

Film Access Scotland's associate practitioners are asked to sign up to these values and principles. By doing so, associate practitioners indicate that they commit to adopt, or work towards adopting, the same values and principles in delivering their Film Access activities.

Film Access Scotland recognises the need for continuing evaluation and assessment in its work and undertakes to revisit this Statement of Values and Principles on a regular basis to adjust and develop it in order to apply its evolving understanding.

Film Access Scotland welcomes feedback and suggestions.
Diversity
I recognise the importance of greater diversity in the Film Access Sector and the individuals, groups and communities I engage with. I seek to address under-representation in all my work, offering the opportunity to participate in accessible Film Access activities to everyone, but especially those experiencing disadvantage or exclusion because of their socioeconomic background, geographic location, additional needs, protected characteristics or caring responsibilities.*
Inclusion
I believe it is essential for Film Access activities to provide a platform for reaching under-represented groups and audiences and to ensure there are no barriers to access for these opportunities. I foster inclusion by enabling access to high-quality, participatory Film Access activities, which we know make a real difference to communities and to individuals’ lives. I support the principles of Fair Work and the importance of offering all individuals an effective voice, opportunity, security, fulfilment and respect in the working environment. *
Opportunity
I promote greater opportunity for individuals and communities to express themselves and to have their voices heard using image, sound and creativity. Film Access activities offer the opportunity for individuals to gain personal and technical skills through training and support, so their employability skills and outcomes are improved, and they are motivated to take ownership and responsibility for their personal development, careers and wider lives. *
Collaboration
I champion collaboration as an essential element of all I do. I am committed to cooperation between organisations and individuals in the Film Access Sector and with other related sectors; I believe it is through partnership and the sharing of good practice, in an atmosphere of openness and trust, that the Sector will develop and grow to the benefit of our society.*
Creativity
I recognise the power of creativity wherever it can be found, knowing that engaging with, learning about and enjoying film and filmmaking as an artform and as part of Scottish culture can transform individuals, groups and communities. I believe in the importance of film education and media literacy to our culture and society and in the contribution that creativity can make to improving health and wellbeing. *
Change
I use film as an expressive tool because it provides such a powerful way to give individuals, groups and communities a voice and because it contributes to positive change and has a real impact in terms of social, community and environmental justice. *
