June Sarpong said BBC not diverse enough at 'mid-level and senior leadership'The BBC's diversity boss has admitted the corporation is 'nowhere near' hitting its own targets and says it will 'take longer than we hoped' to reach them. June Sarpong, 43, said she believes the BBC is diverse at 'entry level' but 'not enough in terms of mid-level and senior leadership'. It follows the BBC investing £100million of its TV budget into increasing diversity over three years, starting from April 2021. Ms Sarpong also works with diversity monitoring group Diamond, which measures the diversity profiles of UK media staff. 'While we have made significant progress on diversity, we also have to accept that the BBC has much further to go.'
