Creative Diversity Network

Now, people are just putting their heads down and getting the work done… and letting the work speak for itself.”

Miranda Wayland, CEO of the Creative Diversity Network, offers a grounded perspective on the state of EDI in UK TV. While conversations around diversity can feel politicised or even divisive, the work itself continues — often without the noise or fanfare of previous years.

Miranda points to the legislative guardrails of the Equality Act 2010 and the accountability provided by CDN’s Diamond data as crucial foundations for long-term progress. Her message is a reminder that meaningful change doesn’t always arrive loudly, but through consistent, data-led action and honest, no-threat conversations about what equity really means.

In a challenging global climate for EDI, there’s something quietly reassuring about seeing the UK’s creative industries continuing to do the work — and being held to account for it.
