´óÏó´«Ã½

Welcome to the Creative Diversity i-Hub, an intuitive one stop shop to support our suppliers and programme-makers to make their content and production teams more inclusive and representative.

This hub brings together the wealth of resources, information, guidance and best practice the ´óÏó´«Ã½ and the wider industry has to offer.

Our Diversity Commitments

We want the stories we tell and the people who make them to reflect the lives of all our audiences across the UK.

To help achieve this, the ´óÏó´«Ã½ commits to prioritising a portion of our existing commissioning budget, a minimum of £80 million per year across Television and Radio, on diverse content that meets our creative diversity criteria.

To qualify for the investment our commissioners are looking for programme ideas that meet two out of the three criteria listed:

1. Diverse Content – diverse stories and on-air portrayal

2. Diverse Company Leadership – senior roles involved in shaping creative or operational strategy within the production company from the following underrepresented groups:

• Black, Asian or minority ethnic
• Deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent
• Working class

3. Diverse Production Leadership – off-air influential roles involved in shaping and making our programmes from the following three underrepresented groups:

• Black, Asian or minority ethnic
• Deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent
• Working class

For all new commissions from 4 September 2024 we ask production companies to commit to at least 25% of their production teams being from the following underrepresented groups:

• People from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds
• People who are deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent
• People from working class backgrounds - to achieve socio-economic diversity (SED)
