Unit 5: LO2 Investigating audio production and technology

Sarah Wilson; Adam Jones; James Ashford & Chris Leinster Date Issued: 19th December 2018Final Deadline: 1st February 2019

Brief There will be a small commissioning round for the 14.15 Drama in December 2018 for plays to transmit in July 2019 to March 2020. Around 15 five-minute episodes will be available. The BBC will be looking to commission very distinctive single dramas exploring a range of issues of interest to 16-25 year-olds. The dramas will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 4 Extra before the watershed.GuidelinesThe BBC is an equal opportunity employer and seeks to ensure that all the producers we work with take seriously their responsibilities with regard to equal opportunities and, in addition, health and safety during the course of commissions. The BBC therefore requires that all independent producers comply with all current equality, anti-discrimination and health and safety legislation and their respective codes of practice. The BBC may request a written statement of independent producers’ own equality, diversity, inclusion and health and safety policies and relevant details of how the policy is implemented in practice. The BBC expect all producers to apply the highest professional and ethical standards. Producers and commissioners must ensure they are working with a mix of on and off air talent that seeks to reflect the diversity of the UK’s nations and regions and the range of voices, perspectives and experiences from all groups in the country. They should discuss with their teams what positive steps can be taken to help the BBC meet its diversity and inclusion targets as laid out in the BBC Diversity and inclusion strategy, and how they might reflect different perspectives and experiences in content.
