Lurker and occasional commenter here.
Trusted persons, as in, an independent entity or agency? No, apart from
union representation, which in the US would be SAG-AFTRA.
Studios or production companies would presumably have some kind of Human
Resources department. How effective such a department would be, I can't
say. There's a recent movie called The Assistant that, while fictional,
probably is pretty accurate in its depiction of the sad reality of that
situation. (It's on Hulu if anyone is interested.)
As far as a company officer specifically put in place to deal with this
kind of issue: two or three years ago I would have said no company had such
a person. Today I suspect most probably do, if only to protect themselves.
There is also a job called Intimacy Coordinator, which has been created
fairly recently, that deals specifically the delicate issues surrounding
onscreen sex scenes.
I read The Hollywood Reporter a lot, which is where I got most of this
info.
