[cma-l] Radio companies invited to take part in 2015 Census

[CMA-L]

Creative Skillset is once again giving UK based radio companies the chance
to stand up and be counted in the first industry-wide census since 2012.

The Census for the radio industry is now open. Companies are encouraged to
complete the Census online:

*The deadline for completing the Census is Friday 30 October.*

Creative Skillset’s Employment Census of the Creative Media Industries,
which has been running since 1999, is the only project of its kind for
creative media in the UK, and provides an accurate and detailed picture of
the creative industries.

The crucial piece of work helps the creative sectors* in the UK stay
informed about the industry, including key occupations, working patterns,
gender and ethnicity. Findings from the Census also inform Government and
industry policy and co-investment in developing the skills of people
working in these sectors.

The results of the Census are shared freely throughout the industries,
allowing employers, training and education providers, policy makers and
individuals to see the key issues affecting the creative media industries
and inform decisions on how and where to invest in skills and training.

The last Census in 2012 revealed that the representation of Black, Asian
and Minority Ethnic people (BAME) had declined to just 5% of the TV
workforce and produced a significant response from the media and the TV
industry. It inspired Lenny Henry’s notable BAFTA lecture in 2014 calling
for more diversity in TV and the wider creative industries.
