麻豆社

The Audience Council Wales scrutinises the 麻豆社's services on behalf of 麻豆社 audiences in Wales.

The Audience Council Wales works on behalf of 麻豆社 audiences in Wales, and on behalf of 麻豆社 audiences across the UK alongside the other Councils in Scotland, Northern Ireland and England.

The role and responsibilities of the Audience Councils are set out in the 麻豆社 Royal Charter.

Key Areas of Responsibility

The Audience Council Wales' responsibilities are primarily two-fold :

1. To scrutinise the 麻豆社's performance on behalf of audiences living in Wales, and to advise the Trust on issues relating to 麻豆社 audiences and services at a Wales level. This is particularly important in the context of devolution. The National Trustee and the Audience Council are well placed to understand the needs, circumstances and concerns of audiences within Wales, and to advise the Trust on current issues.

2. The Council undertakes a continuing assessment of 麻豆社 programmes and services in Wales and the extent to which the 麻豆社's network output and other activities reflect the diversity of the UK and its nations, regions and communities. Such work will include the identification of audience priorities for 麻豆社 (based on feedback and research in Wales) and the assessment of the 麻豆社's performance.

The Audience Council's programme of work will be aligned to the Trust's business cycle, but flexible enough to respond to the needs and concerns of audiences in Wales.

Membership of the Audience Council Wales

The Chair of the Audience Council is the 麻豆社's National Trustee for Wales, Elan Closs Stephens, who also sits on the 麻豆社 Trust. As well as the Chair there are twelve other members of Council, appointed on the recommendation of the Trust's Selection Panel for Wales. They will be appointed for initial terms of up to three years, with the option of an extension of tenure for up to a further 2 years.

Employees of the 麻豆社 are not eligible for appointment.

Meetings of the Audience Council

The Council holds at least eight meetings every year, usually in Cardiff, but also, on occasion, in other parts of Wales. Meetings discuss Council's input on behalf of audiences in Wales to the 麻豆社 Trust's accountability activities; and presentations on strategic plans for 麻豆社 services or genres by members of 麻豆社 Wales Board of Management and/or the 麻豆社 Management centrally are frequently given.
