Models Direct Supports The BFC\u2019s Model Programme<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Following the 2007 Model Health Inquiry report \u2018Fashioning a Healthy Future\u2019, the British Fashion Council (BFC) completed a 12 month action plan.<\/p>\n

As part of the plan, contractual agreements were made with designers to ensure there is a ban on models under the age of 16 at London Fashion Week; that backstage environments are both healthy and safe; and that healthy food and drinks are provided for all those working backstage at fashion shows.<\/p>\n

Not only has the BFC introduced an auditing process to monitor these agreements, but the council has also funded a B-EAT eating disorder awareness<\/a> seminar for model agencies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Equity, the performing arts union, has also established a model section in which it recognises that modelling is a\u00a0profession on par with acting and dancing.<\/p>\n

Since then, representatives from the BFC, Association of Model Agents (AMA), Equity and the LDA have established a working party in order to carry forward these initiatives and continue work in this area.<\/p>\n

So far, this group has achieved some great steps in the right direction. Equity, for example, has produced a series of advice leaflets for models, called \u2018A Model\u2019s Guide To\u2026<\/a>\u2019, which Models Direct highly recommends, while the AMA have launched associationofmodelagents.org, which offers general information on modelling.<\/p>\n

Models Direct fully supports the BFC\u2019s Model Programme and all the efforts being made to ensure models\u2019 safety and wellbeing while on modelling jobs<\/a>.\u00a0 Let\u2019s just hope that the rest of the industry takes these recommendations on board, and that further headway is made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
