±«Óãtv Diversity Commissioning Code of Practice

The Diversity Commissioning Code of Practice is part of the ±«Óãtv’s commitment to increase diversity on and off air to reflect and represent today’s UK.

The new Code of Practice puts diversity at the heart of the ±«Óãtv’s commissioning processes and reporting framework across TV, radio, online and digital content, standardising the approach across all output for the first time:

  • Continuing to ingrain diversity into everyday discussions around all of its commissions at the beginning of the creative process;
  • agreeing the detail of what each production will do to increase diversity, on-air and off-air, before the commission gets the go ahead;
  • ensuring there is an ongoing dialogue and support for producers to achieve agreed diversity commitments; and
  • checking back, when productions deliver, on whether diversity agreements were met.
