For clarity: Ofcom has been leading industry work to improve diversity in TV and radio for several years. We have established a panel of industry experts to inform our work, and we carry out major annual studies of broadcasters’ workforces and action plans. 1/2— Ofcom (@Ofcom) July 9, 2020
We have also set strict diversity requirements for the BBC, and continue to engage at CEO level with all the major broadcasters to help the industry make faster progress – which we agree is urgently needed. 2/2— Ofcom (@Ofcom) July 9, 2020
