With diversity in the workforce and cultural representation an increasing priority for the media sector, this timely seminar brought together employers and professionals with commentators, regulators and policymakers from across the creative sector to examine the latest thinking, common challenges and best practice for increasing diversity at every level and to ensure the industry presents a true reflection of contemporary Britain.
It took place in light of the launch of the Creative Diversity Network’s Project Diamond diversity monitoring system for UK broadcasting, Channel 4’s 360° diversity charter report, and the BBC’s charter renewal process. Sessions considered how the media sector can increase diversity, both on and off-screen - taking into account the demographics of ethnicity, sexuality, disability, religion, socio-economic and body size - as well as looking at options for policy in terms of funding, regulation and education to encourage more representational recruitment and staff development practices throughout the industry.
