Broadcasters play a vital role in ensuring the reality of modern life across the whole of the UK is adequately reflected. We continue to work with the British Film Institute (BFI), in their role as the Government’s arm’s length body with responsibility for the sector, to improve representation both on and off screen, including through supporting the wider adoption of the BFI’s world-leading Diversity Standards. Meeting the Standards is a ‘kitemark’, and must be obtained in order to access public film funding (BFI, BBC Films, Film 4) and BAFTA awards in certain categories. They have also been adopted by Paramount Pictures for all their UK productions.
