We are throwing open the doors of the 成人快手 more widely than ever to diverse stories and diverse storytellers.
Diversity and inclusion is a creative imperative for the 成人快手. We have pledged to hardwire diversity into everything we do, both internally and in the way we work with programme makers. We want the stories we tell and the people who make them to reflect the lives of all our audiences across the UK. To achieve this we must make a positive and lasting impact on diversity across the whole broadcast industry, as well as continue to prioritise this change ourselves.
To help achieve these ambitions we have committed to the following:
- Spend a minimum of 拢80 million per year of our overall commissioning budget across television and radio on diverse content that meets our creative diversity criteria. Crucially this investment will focus on programmes where diverse portrayal, topics and storytelling on-screen are aligned with stronger representation within the company鈥檚 leadership and senior production roles, to ensure that the stories told are authentically reflective of audiences across the UK.
- Grow off-screen representation by asking all our producers to ensure 25% of their production team are from underrepresented groups and adopt our inclusive production principles to foster an inclusive culture in all our productions
- Improve the representation of deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people in Network television
Find further information about what we are doing and how we can help our producers to achieve this on the pages below.
