The initiative comes a year after the the launch of Channel 4’s 360° Diversity Charter, which set out a range of targets on increasing diversity. The broadcaster said it has achieved or is on target to for 24 of the 30 targets in areas such as casting disabled actors and overall employee representation. However, it said six of the targets need more work, including one relating to Project Diamond, a pan-industry project to monitor diversity both on and off-screen.

Channel 4 chief executive David Abraham said: “When we launched the 360° Diversity Charter last year we set ourselves challenging targets across every level of the organisation and I’m incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made, though there remains more we must do.

“I hope that with the launch of 2016 as our year of disability we can extend the impact of this Paralympic year right across our schedule and help do something lasting to increase representation of disabled people on, and off-screen.”

Culture Minister Ed Vaizey MP said: “The lack of diversity on and behind our screens is truly shocking. I am pleased the industry is at last beginning to address this, and it’s good that Channel 4 is keeping this issue prominently on the agenda. But this is only the beginning. No one can assume the job is done or even half done. We have a long way to go and I will continue to engage with broadcasters on this issue.”

Minister for disabled people Justin Tomlinson MP said: “Channel 4 programming has set the standard for disabled representation both on and off screen. By partnering with charities to raise awareness of specific issues and presenting believable disabled characters they have made a real difference. The ambitious goals in the 360° Diversity Charter report will enable them to build on this fantastic work.”

Channel 4 said it would focus on another aspect of diversity in 2017.

The announcement follows a commitment from the BBC earlier on Monday to put a further £3.5m into maintaining schemes aimed at increasing ethnic minority representation both on-screen and off at the corporation.

Abraham, BBC director general Tony Hall, ITV chief executive Adam Crozier, and Sky head of drama Anne Mensah will all appear at a Channel 4 diversity event called Diverse on Tuesday.
