Why does it matter?
• How diverse we are affects the diversity of our audience
• How inclusive we are towards each other affects how inclusive we are towards new audiences
Consider that in 2001-2010…• ‘White British’ population decreased from 87.5% to
80.5% • ‘Indian’ identities increased from 2m to 2.5m• ‘Mixed heritage households’ increased from 9% to
12%• In London, ‘White Britons’ now account for less than
half of the population for the first time in history (45%)• ‘Muslim’ identities increased exponentially to 4.8%• AND: in 2016 49% of 18-24yo identify as ‘not 100%
heterosexual
