Improved equity

for Disabled talent by embedding the TV Access Project’s 5 A’s guidelines

Mainstream Content

We champion diversity through our mainstream content, ensuring everyone can enjoy stories that reflect their own experiences while celebrating what connects us. Following a successful first round, we committed a further £80 million Diversity Commissioning Spend (DCS) across 2025-27.

Creating Opportunities

Our Diversity Development Fund (DDF) continued to support underrepresented creatives, including the 2025 Fresh Cuts series on ITVX and YouTube. We also launched EAST on Screen: ITV Writers’ Room.

Inclusive Culture

One of our company values is that ITV is for everyone – it’s core to our People and DEI strategies that we foster an inclusive culture and our workforce reflects society, so ITV entertains and connects with millions.

Our colleague networks are at the heart of fostering a workplace where everyone feels they belong. In 2025, we strengthened their strategic impact by adding network chairs to ITV’s Cultural Advisory Council, bringing together internal and external expertise to inform our DEI work.

Accessibility and Disability Equity

We embedded the TV Access Project’s 5 A’s guidelines across our productions to improve equity for Disabled talent; created an Accessibility Maturity Model to assess and improve accessibility; and ITV Signpost had record uptake of Deaf Awareness Training across ITV.

UK Representation Targets for 2027

At ITV we take a data-driven approach to our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work to identify barriers and underrepresentation, focus our investment, and enable accountability. We measure progress towards our targets to improve representation in ITV’s workforce, on and off-screen. This helps create a culture where everyone can be themselves and thrive.
