This seminar considered industry and policy priorities for supporting the long-term growth of the UK children’s content sector.
It followed the amendment to the Digital Economy Act, which gives Ofcom powers, but not an obligation, to impose quotas on PSBs to increase their provision of original children’s content, and comes as the final shape of the £60 million contestable fund is negotiated.
Delegates examined strategies for extending the reach and quality of PSB children’s content across platforms, and assessed alternative forms of public support.
Attendees also discussed latest developments in private investment - including new approaches to funding, rights management and merchandising - and options for mitigating the impact of increased regulatory pressure on marketing.
Further sessions considered the UK sector’s international positioning going forward - looking at the commercial, creative and policy issues, as well as priorities for increasing the effectiveness of global rights exploitation, and attracting foreign investment and skills into the industry as the UK prepares to leave the European Union.
