Over this time many people who made these highly regarded TV and radio programmes have either taken voluntary redundancy or moved over to work on BBC Jam. About 20 staff remain who are now faced with compulsory redundancies. This seems particularly short-sighted when the BBC is just about to embark on a wide-ranging review of their formal education provision for children, which could well need the TV production skills these people have.

It was hoped that they would be resettled over in the hitherto expanding BBC Jam service, but not now, so it looks as if these key staff will be lost to the BBC. More serious is that the suspension of BBC Jam and the stopping of school TV production means that the BBC now makes no formal education provision at all for children and schools.
