A new report indicates that commitments made by the UK television industry following the Black Lives Matter movement in summer 2020 have not resulted in lasting, systemic change. The findings highlight a decline in representation for minority ethnic groups.
The latest Diamond diversity report reveals that pledges to improve inclusivity haven’t translated into “embedded, structural change” within the UK TV sector. Paul Moore, chair of the Creative Diversity Network (CDN), which compiles the annual reports, stated that there has been a recent decline in representation of Black, Asian and minority ethnic [individuals].
The report assesses diversity metrics across various roles in the television industry. While initial responses to the BLM movement saw increased attention on diversity initiatives, the CDN’s analysis suggests these efforts have not fundamentally altered the composition of the workforce or created lasting opportunities for underrepresented groups. The specific data detailing the extent of the decline was not provided in the source material.
