A year after the BBC Director-General Tony Hall unveiled ambitious plans for on and off screen BAME representation at the BBC along with a new Independent Diversity Advisory Group, our panel assesses how these plans and those of other broadcasters have fared.
Channel 4, Sky and the BFI have all set new diversity targets and the Creative Diversity Network launched a new Commissioner Development Programme across all the broadcasters. Does all this mean that it’s Diversity: Job Done?
A panel comprising representatives of the broadcasters and key industry figures join Chair, Afua Hirsch to discuss if what has been achieved so far is enough or if the real work has only just started?
The exclusive results of an industry survey by The TV Collective will also be revealed on the night.
Panel:
Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson DBE
Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Act for Change
Lucy Lumsden, Head of Comedy, Sky
Tunde Ogungbesan, Head of Diversity Inclusion and Succession, BBC
Ade Rawcliffe, Creative Diversity Manager, Channel 4
Chaired by Afua Hirsch, Social Affairs and Education Editor, Sky News
