	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>Ofcom’s annual diversity monitoring report is a key tool in measuring how much progress the industry is making in increasing diversity in the sector. The report, which is attached, can be found here: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0021/121683/diversity-in-TV-2018-report.PDF</p><p> </p><p>Now in its second year, the report makes clear that broadcasters still have much work to do to make their workforces more representative and reduce data gaps so a more accurate picture can be built. The government supports Ofcom’s work and expects broadcasters to voluntarily publish data on all diversity characteristics, not just the ones they are obliged to by law, to ensure that Ofcom is able to produce the most comprehensive reports possible.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 15/11/2018 16:14:06 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde attachment 1 file name diversity-in-TV-2018-report.PDF title Diversity & equal opportunities in television 2018
