Ofcom blasts BBC for its failure to promote diversity
The BBC is failing to ensure diversity in its employment practices, broadcasting watchdog Ofcom said yesterday as it called for a “step change” across the industry.
The regulator said the broadcaster “should lead the way” in reflecting the make-up of society but was failing in a number of areas.
Just 6 per cent of senior jobs at the BBC are held by people from an ethnic minority background.
