It is fairly certain there was a collective sigh of resignation when it was first mooted that, as a consequence of the 2003 Communications Act, broadcasters would have to report on their ‘arrangements’ for training and skills to Ofcom, the regulator for the UK communications industries. There followed a period of intense negotiation with all stakeholders and, in 2005, the Broadcast Training & Skills Regulator (BTSR) was created to steward an all-industry partnership of co-regulation for training and skills. The underpinning ethos was to ensure broadcasters provide relevant, inclusive and cost effective training and development opportunities to the staff they employ.
Under the 2003 Act, broadcasters with more than 20 staff have to complete an annual self-evaluation report and submit it to the BTSR. In addition, all broadcasters (those with an Ofcom licence) with fewer staff have to report that they are exempt. In 2008, approximately 70 companies were obliged to report to the BTSR on their approach to training and skills.
