Diversity - Who to Contact
All Skillset staff are responsible for implementing our work on Diversity, but our strategy and activities are led by key people across the organisation. Our head of diversity for external and internal matters is:
Gary Townsend

Members of the Diversity Champions also represent Skillset on various bodies that we work with including the Broadcasting and Creative Industries Disability Network (BCIDN), the UK Film Council's Leadership on Diversity Forum and the Cultural Diversity Network (CDN).
