News Image
Jane English has been appointed Channel 4's new Head of Inclusion and will work closely with the Head of Creative Diversity and the broadcaster’s People team to champion inclusion and diversity across the business.

Jane will foster an inclusive culture at Channel 4 through collaboration with passionate advocates inside and outside the business, and she will lead inclusion programmes that ensure best practice for staff.

Jane is currently on maternity leave and will take up her new job in the autumn. She joins from 4Creative and Marketing where she was instrumental in some of the broadcaster’s most famous campaigns including Super.Human for the 2020 Paralympics, 100 Years which marked the centenary of women's right to vote, and a short form series with Grayson Perry exploring gender identity.

She has also been an innovator as co-Chair of the 4Women network, one of Channel 4's Employee Resource Groups. Jane was behind the broadcaster’s menopause policy which was the first of its kind in the media industry, as well as a pioneering pregnancy loss policy, and a 'get home safe' taxi service for Channel 4 staff.

Jane is also a steering committee member of The Inclusion Group established by the Advertising Association, ISBA and IPA.
