Diversity & Inclusion- further resources

We are committed to supporting our programme-makers and suppliers to meet our requirements and increase representation both on and off-air.

Tracking and reporting diverse on-air representation

To demonstrate change is being delivered, the ´óÏó´«Ã½ will report on progress in its Annual Report. In conjunction with the aggregated data from Proteus and the number of commissions that qualify against the criteria, we will be able to monitor success on a rolling basis across three years. Working with ´óÏó´«Ã½ Audiences we can capture information on audience ratings and new audiences to help measure impact.

We are also investigating how we can link with  to track and measure success in this area. We will provide updates on our progress.

Capturing diversity data

To support programme-makers and suppliers to capture as much information as possible at the beginning of the commissioning progress relating to Diverse Company Leadership and Diverse Production Leadership, we have made changes to our commissioning editorial specifications to reflect our new diversity and inclusion commitments. We will capture details surrounding Diverse Company Leadership as part of the process to register as a programme supplier. We will also capture Diverse Production Leadership data as part of the process to submit a proposal.

Working with great creative talent

To ensure we can tap into the wealth of creative talent within our industry we will be hosting a number of New Indie days for those production companies that don’t have a current relationship with the ´óÏó´«Ã½. We’ll share more details about these soon.

We’re investing in creating more opportunities for emerging, diverse audio talent. This Summer, we’ll launch an initiative which has the working title ‘´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds Lab’, designed to enable grass-roots and self-published audio creatives to turn their budding ideas into great podcasts - outside of the existing commissioning structure. Over the course of a year, each of the creators will be aided by experienced producers and will have access to studios and equipment as well as promotional support from ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds.
