BREAKOUT is a Positive Action training and development scheme
which is lawful under the Race Relations Act 1976. BREAKOUT is
designed to specifically target the statistically recognised under
representation of Black and Minority Ethnic groups working in the
film and television industry. The majority of the UK population are
white (92%). The remaining 8% (4.6million people) belong to other
ethnic minority groups. Only 5% of the film production workforce
is from a minority ethnic group. The term minority ethnic in this
context of targeted training and development is used to refer
to people who belong to an ethnic group numerically smaller
than the (white) majority ethnic group in the UK.
