Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley are among the famous faces who have signed a letter urging the creative industries to support an independent body planning to tackle bullying and harassment in the sector.

The open letter calls for firms to make their “final financial commitment” to the creation of the Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority (CIISA), which hopes to “uphold and improve standards of behaviour” in the industry.
