Welcome to the BETR's annual report on Training & Skills and Equal Opportunities in the broadcast Industry for 2010

Format of the report

This report has three sections.

The Executive Summary is a two page document highlighting the findings from this year’s self-evaluation round with key points for both broadcasters and regulator to note.

Download Executive Summary from here.

The main report is in three sections.

Part I is the full body of the report giving an analysis of the returns for 2010, complemented by commentaries from regulated companies. There is also a section on the UK training environment and the broadcast industry context in which the L&D professional has to operate. It reviews the data gathered in some detail but for those with limited time we recommend they read Sections 1-2, the Overview followed by the Conclusions and Recommendations section, which this year we have moved to the front of the report. Sections 3-7 provide the detail. Where relevant, 2009, 2008, 2007 & 2006 data have been compared with this year’s returns. To keep the report short and aid clarity we have moved all graphics and detailed data to the Appendices (Parts II and III)

Download Part I from here, it includes the Executive Summary.

Appendices – Parts II and III

The Appendices make up the final two sections of the Report and provide detailed data analysis, as well as the self-evaluation frameworks and reporting companies for 2010.
