BBC Producers Guidelines

The request was successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

BBC Producers'Guidelines (Document Reference RFI20080896)states on Pg 81 that:

"The BBC has specialist programmes, programme
departments and the BBC Diversity Database on which programme makers can draw to widen
the range of people represented."

a) Can you please provide the names of:

- The specialist programmes

- The programme departments

referred to in the above quoted paragraph?

b) Can you please detail the purpose and objectives of these specialist programmes and departments in relation to programme production? For example, are programme producers compelled to refer to the programmes/departments; do these units pro-actively assess each, or some, programmes before broadcast? If so, with what intent?

c) Can you please explain the purpose of the BBC Diversity Database?

e) Can you please let me know what information is held in the BBC Diversity Database, e.g. does it detail the representation of particular social or ethnic groups on a per programme basis?

Yours faithfully,

A. Hunter
