About Diamond and Creative Diversity Network
About Diamond
Diamond is an industry-wide data collection system (or tool) for monitoring and reporting diversity in UK television broadcasting. This system is managed by the Creative Diversity Network (CDN), a membership organisation aimed at increasing diversity and inspiring inclusion both on and off-screen.
With the support of production companies via the Silvermouse platform, Diamond collects diversity data directly from cast and crew (contributors) on programmes commissioned by BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Lumo TV, Paramount, Sky, and UKTV. Warner Brothers Discovery are also a Diamond partner.
Diamond tracks seven diversity characteristics aligned with the Equality Act 2010: age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, religion, and sexual orientation. Additionally, we collect data about socio-economic diversity.
With this data we are able to monitor the characteristics of individuals involved in making programmes across different genres and different production roles. This gives us an indication of how inclusive and open we are as anindustry to all talented people.
