LATEST NEWS ON WORKING PARTIES
The four groups pursuing various sections of the campaign have begun to meet separately to set out their plans.
The Policy Group will meet next Monday (7th August) – their role is to consider political and institutional lobbying and partnerships with other organisations such as BAFTA, the VLV, The Writers Guild, PACT etc. Rachel Murrell is co-ordinating this group.
The group considering new funding options for kids’ media, co-ordinated by Richard Langridge, is meeting on the 8th August.
The PR group, co-ordinated by Maddy Wiltshire, is working in sub-groups on different approaches to publicising the campaign and its objectives, including a viral web-based option.
The group looking at structure is planning an expansion of the website so that it can act as a communications hub for the working groups and the entire membership list as the first priority. We are exploring various options on funding the campaign including sponsorship and a fund-raising event.
