BBC Children's commissioning
World class content to super-serve our sophisticated young audience, reaching hearts and minds in a fast-changing world

We're passionate about serving UK children with the very highest quality content that entertains, educates, and informs. We're home to two of the UK’s most popular and loved kids media brands: CBeebies and CBBC, as well as the most trusted children’s news and education brands: Newsround and Bitesize. We reach over 60% of all UK under 16’s every week across our platforms, commissioning and acquiring bold and ambitious content with great depth and breadth. We actively support a wide variety of companies from across the UK, championing new ideas and taking creative risks to bring these to life, and are proud of the many opportunities we create for home-grown talent, both on and off-screen.
