Love Island 2022 stars will complete ‘inclusion training’ amid duty of care overhaul
Love Island bosses have confirmed that Islanders in the 2022 series will receive inclusion training as part of measures to improve discussions and behaviour around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity.The video training and guidance will also cover behaviours and microaggressions, to be offered before the Islanders enter the Majorcan villa.Extended duty of care protocols have also been put in place, with what the show calls “extensive welfare measures” remaining in place.These measures promise to provide support to participants ahead of, during and after the filming of the series.It comes after the show was struck with another huge change, with ITV dumping fast fashion retailers in exchange for a sponsorship with eBay - which will see contestants rock secondhand clothes throughout their time in the villa.Inclusion training consists of conversations chaired by Black Collective of Media in Sport (BCOMS) founder Leon Mann MBE, along with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consultant Hayley Bennett, disability specialist Shani Dhanda and broadcaster Sean Fletcher.Other duty of care protocols include having registered mental health professionals engaged throughout the series and afterwards, psychological and medical assessments ahead of the show and medical history checks from each contestant’s GP.As ever, cast members will be given “detailed explanations” of the implications taking part in the series could have, with it being reported in the past that Islanders were forced to sign contracts insisting “nobody may fancy you and you might not become famous”.They’ll also be offered therapy sessions after the show, encouraged to secure management and get bespoke social media training.Ade Rawcliffe, Group Director of Diversity
