Code of Ethics - Committed to Accuracy, Authenticity, and Integrity in Storytelling

 

 

As a company dedicated to advising film and television productions on military, intelligence, and security matters, we recognise the influence and responsibility that comes with shaping how armed forces and security operations are portrayed on screen. Our Code of Ethics ensures our work reflects professional integrity, historical truth, and responsible storytelling.

 

1. Authenticity and Accuracy

  • We provide advice grounded in real-world military, intelligence, and security experience, aiming to represent tactics, equipment, language, and behaviour with fidelity.
  • We ensure accuracy while respecting the dramatic needs of storytelling, balancing realism with creative interpretation.

2. Respect for Service and Sacrifice

  • We honour the dignity, diversity, and sacrifice of those who serve or have served by avoiding glamorisation or trivialisation of conflict, violence, or suffering.
  • We are committed to portraying military and security personnel with realism and humanity, avoiding stereotypes or politicisation.

3. Operational Sensitivity and Security

  • We do not disclose or replicate classified methods, sensitive capabilities, or ongoing operational procedures.
  • We maintain strict confidentiality regarding former operational knowledge and respect all Official Secrets Acts, NDAs, and professional obligations.

4. Historical Responsibility

  • Where historical events are depicted, we strive to promote informed, respectful representations that avoid revisionism or distortion.
  • We support efforts to reflect underrepresented perspectives in military and security history where appropriate.

5. Professional Conduct

  • Our advisors maintain high standards of professionalism, discretion, and collaboration on set, in pre-production, and during post.
  • We act with honesty, fairness, and respect toward producers, directors, cast, crew, and all collaborators.

6. Commitment to Continuous Learning

  • We stay up to date with evolving military practices, historical scholarship, and production techniques.
  • We actively reflect on the ethical implications of our work and adapt our practice in response to new insights.
