Introduction 1.1 This In-focus report provides more in-depth analysis across each of the main five broadcasters1 and should be read in conjunction with the main report. 1.2 Each section gives an overview of the six protected characteristics for which we collected data, showing profiles for all UK employees across each broadcaster. The top row (purple) shows profiles for gender, racial group and disability, for which data provision was mandatory. The bottom row (blue) shows profiles for age, sexual orientation and religion or belief, for which provision was voluntary. 1.3 Though broadcasters were not required to provide the information requested on a voluntary basis, we consider these to be equally important characteristics that should be monitored to effectively assess how well equal opportunities are being promoted across the industry. We made it clear in our information request that, to provide context and transparency, we would be publishing information on who did and didn’t provide the data requested. 1.4

  • 'Food for Thought' December 2020
    ‘food for thought’ December 2020 Your Distraction Pack 1 Photos sourced from Pixabay.com Welcome to the December issue of ‘food for thought’, your distraction pack. Dictionary definition of “Something that prevents someone from giving their attention to something else” “An activity that you do for pleasure” COVID-19 has affected us all in very different ways, but the common adjustment we have all had to make is that of self-isolation and how we each deal with that varies enormously. Some are finding it easy to distance themselves from others, whilst others are finding isolation difficult. We are all responsible for making sure not only we, but others, are kept safe from infection and the only way to do that is to stay where you live and avoid close contact with others. These Distraction Packs offer a variety of quizzes, activities and reading material to help distract you during the long periods of time spent alone. We hope you enjoy them. The answers are given at the back, so if you don’t want to know what they are, don’t look beyond page 29! We wish you all a Happy Christmas and a safe and healthy new year. Having supported older individuals with convictions (in prisons and the community) for over ten years, RECOOP, part of the BCHA family, recognises the importance of keeping active, both physically and mentally. Our Distraction Packs, 'food for thought' are created with that in mind. www.recoop.org.uk BCHA is a not for profit, registered Housing Association, that has supported those experiencing homelessness for over 50 years.

    ANTHONY HOPKINS RECEIVES ACADEMY FELLOWSHIP AT THE ORANGE BRITISH ACADEMY FILM AWARDS On Sunday 10 February 2008, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts presented Anthony Hopkins with the Academy Fellowship at the Orange British Academy Film Awards ceremony at London’s Royal Opera House. Awarded annually in the Gift of the Academy, the Fellowship is the highest accolade bestowed upon an individual in recognition of an outstanding and exceptional contribution to film. The Award was presented by Lord Attenborough, the Academy’s President. Previously honoured Fellows include Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Sean Connery, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Christie, John Barry, Stanley Kubrick and Judi Dench. Finola Dwyer, Chair of BAFTA’s Film Committee, said: “I am absolutely delighted that the Academy has presented this award to Anthony Hopkins. Anthony is one of the UK’s most loved and admired performers and his contribution to the film industry, both in the UK and abroad, is unrivalled”. In a career spanning five decades, Anthony has become one of the most respected actors of his generation, with his talent recognised by the Academies on both sides of the Atlantic. During his career he has received four BAFTA nominations and won for his performances in The Remains of the Day (1993) and The Silence of the Lambs (1991). He has also received four Oscar nominations and won for his legendary performance as Hannibal Lecter. A Welsh College of Music & Drama graduate, Anthony completed two years mandatory military training before joining Laurence Oliver’s National Theatre at the Old Vic. He made his feature film debut in 1968 opposite Peter O’Toole and Katherine Hepburn in The Lion in Winter and received his first BAFTA nomination for his performance.
