Working with you to build skills and develop talent
BTSR has been created by the broadcasting industry for the broadcasting industry.
We bring together training and development expertise from within and outside the sector - and drawing on this, in a unique way work with the industry to help it continue to raise its game.
As of April 2009 we have taken on the co-regulatory remit for equal opportunities and again will be bringing together expertise and skills from across the broadcast industry to help encourage and improve the equality of opportunity and diversity within the broadcast industry.
Both of these aspects of our work matter because they not only affect the quality of programmes to audiences but also affect the long term success of this valuable world-leading UK industry.
The second Learning & Development in Broadcasting Conference hosted by Maggie Philbin, held in October 2009, was attended by over 150 professionals from across the broadcast industry and has been hailed as a great follow up to the 2008 Conference. It achieved many of its aims, by providing practical advice in a series of workshops and keynote speeches. Delegates were able to share best practice, learn from others within and outside the industry, hear about new ways of learning and enjoy an excellent networking opportunity.
Even now we are planning for the Learning & Development in Broadcasting Conference 2010 which will take place in October 2010 at BAFTA. To find out more about the 2009 conference and look at the presentations given at the 13 workshops, visit our conference website.
The process for 2008 is now complete and our report is available on this website based on the returns from 70 broadcasters and the validation visit of 11 companies. We have now created an open access self evaluation tool which any company can use online http://www.ldinbroadcasting.co.uk/se/ plus we are still improving on our guidebook and creating further links for all to use and subscribe to see:- http://www.ldinbroadcasting.co.uk/gb/
Self-evaluation 2009 will begin shortly.
