RE: Whos Who At The Content Board
Christopher Woolard
A little more information on Christopher Woolard, Ofcoms Group Director, Content, International and Regulatory Development Group.
Actually there does not seem to be much to add. It may be that as a long term civil servant he kept a low profile.
Dec 2008 or early 2009: Joins Ofcom.
March 2005: Joins the BBC Trust as as Head of Compliance & Value for Money (VFM) in the Governance Unit.
Previously: Senior civil servant, led the team that wrote the Communications Act 2003 that established Ofcom.
So after just 3 1/2 years at the BBC he joins the organisation he set up.
No experience at all of making programs.
No apparent experience of deciding on the suitability of content.
No apparent experience or training in legal matters.
No apparent experience of running a large organisation.
Does have experience of assessing public value tests.
Experience of value for money.
A pen pusher and accountant then.
Executive Board Member for UKCCIS (Council for Child Internet Safety), a Government body. Interestingly they list him as being from “Ofcon”
