In this CEMP: Talk Greg Childs will be reflecting on the way in which professional practice benefits from being in active dialogue with researchers (both scholarly and market research) and those in advocacy, and how to collaboratively develop impactful positions that can ultimately inform policy.

Greg worked for over 25 years at the BBC, mainly as a director, producer and executive producer of children’s programmes. He created the first Children’s BBC websites and, as Head of Children’s Digital, developed and launched the children’s channels, CBBC and CBeebies. Greg then went on to advise global broadcasters on channel launches and well as producers on digital, interactive and cross-platform strategies.

He is Editorial Director of Europe's largest Children's Media event - The Children's Media Conference as well as the Director of the Children's Media Foundation (CMF), a UK advocacy body which campaigns and lobbies for the best possible media choices for UK kids. The CMF contributes widely to consultations on children’s media, and is in regular productive dialogue with the DCMS, Ofcom and those with a children’s media interest in Westminster – for example, through the All Party Parliamentary Group of Children Media and the Arts.
