BBC Division

The BBC Division consists of BECTU members employed by the BBC and related organisations.

The BBC Divisional Committee has responsibility for the direction of the Division.

Membership of the Committee is drawn from representatives of the six BBC Sub-Divisions:

  • Nations and Regions
  • Production and World Service
  • Transmission
  • News
  • Ventures [BBC Resources, Siemens SIS and SEC, Red Bee]
  • Central Petals

In each Sub-Division a Sub-Divisional Committee (SDC) oversee business in their respective areas and reports to the BBC Divisional Committee.

Working within the Division are a number of BECTU staff, along with Lay Representatives who are BBC staff with full-time off for union duties.

Every year there is a BBC Divisional Conference at which members of the BBC Divisional Committee are elected by Branches.

More details of the Division are given in the BBC Division Bye Laws [97k pdf] which should be read alongside the BECTU Rules.
