According to "RadioToday", here, "BBC offers voluntary redundancy to any public service staff".

The item goes on to claim..." He [DG, Tony Hall] said he hoped offering the chance of voluntary redundancy would mean the BBC doesn’t have to make compulsory redundancies further down the line. "

Me too, glad of all the extra "playtime" that I've enjoyed in doing so.

If history is any guide, anyone who wants to go will be allowed to.

The priority is not keeping the good, it's making the economies.

Currently celebrating 25 years as a BBC Pensioner, having been offered an unbelievably good deal to leave on my 50th birthday in 1995.

Now waiting for 2025, when I'll have been a pensioner for longer than an employee, which must put the wind up the Actuaries!
