One of the stars of Good Morning Britain has helped ITV revamp its duty of care protocols ahead of the reality show's return. The hit ITV2 dating show is set to return to screens in a matter of days with a fresh bunch of singletons looking for love in a Spanish villa.
But this year all contestants, also known as Islanders, will receive inclusion training exploring language and behaviour before entering the villa as part of ITV’s "extended duty of care protocols". All those looking for a new partner will receive video training and guidance on inclusive language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, behaviours and microaggressions.
The measures are part of ITV’s duty of care protocols announced ahead of the eighth series starting on June 6. The conversations will be chaired by the Black Collective of Media in Sport (Bcoms) founder Leon Mann MBE, broadcaster and GMB regular Sean Fletcher, disability specialist Shani Dhanda and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) consultant Hayley Bennett.
