Children's TV

The live-action children's television industry produces quality programmes across all genres for young people up to 15 years old.  Contributions made by programme-makers to the Children's TV Skills Fund support skills and training in this area of television. This page applies specifically to children's live-action TV productions. Producers working in animated children's TV should visit the animation page for information about funding provided via the Animation Skills Fund.

For parents, teachers and prospective students seeking more information about careers in children's TV, please visit Careers.
