Provide support to performers, cast and crew and contributors during intimate content

This standard is about supporting performers during intimate content creation and identifying any issues that may affect the performer and their ongoing consent to the creation of intimate content.
 
This standard is also about checking and confirming cast, crew and contributors understand their role and involvement with the creation of intimate content on a production and providing support to them.
 
This will involve identifying any issues that may arise for the non-performers, monitoring the behaviour on set, and reporting any issues with this.

It will also involve confirming resources, including materials and professional support that may be required for the intimate content creation to take place.

This standard is for Intimacy coordinators.
