Channel: Channel 4
Time: 9pm
I have chosen this time and channel because it’s the time where people of the
target audience age is more available and its not too early and not too late its
appropriate for that age. Also I picked channel 4 because of previous
programmes they have done on this subject, they seem to be a very open
channel .
14. Uniforms effective or not?
Purpose
• The purpose of uniforms is for the consumer to identify the employee with the particular
business.
• If a consumer needs help, she can immediately identify employees by their attire.
Responsibility
• You are learning personal responsibility.
• An employee who constantly follows the dress code and wears the company uniform shows
pride and responsibility.
Presentation
• Company employees who all dress the same make the company more presentable.
• Consumers appreciate a company that makes the appearance of the store enjoyable.
Eliminates Inner-Office Fashion Competitions
• No matter how many times dress-code reminders are sent out, inappropriate clothing
makes its way into the office.
• Uniforms eliminate the need for reminders about the appropriate length for skirts or
slogans on T-shirts.
Save Money
• As your weight varies and trends change, seasonal updates to the wardrobe can be costly. A
uniform can save you lots of money, especially if you work long shifts.

15. Uniforms effective or not?
Safety Considerations
• Uniforms potentially make schools safer.
• Unauthorized visitors are easy to spot.
• Gangs cannot instigate fights by wearing their gang colours or insignia.
• Thefts may decrease because students can no longer wear expensive clothing items.
Social Benefits
• Better girls self esteem
• Uniforms take away this pressure because everyone is wearing the same clothing.
Facts about England school
• The vast majority (82 per cent) of state schools in the UK specify a uniform of some
form that their pupils must wear. Secondary schools are more likely to have a uniform
than primary schools (98 per cent compared with 79 per cent).

are worn. E.g.: schools, jobs, army.

• Jobs: offices, shop managers, people who work in stores, students
• Ethnicity: English, Pakistan, Arabic’s
• Religion: Muslims, Catholics, Jehovah witness.
Some might be interested in this documentary because it’s a debatable topic.
Brings lots of different views and opinions. This will be an
informative, educational and debatable documentary.
Channel: Channel 4
Time: 7pm
I have chosen this time because I think its suitable for the audience I picked.
Simpsons is normally at 6pm so I think it would be good to stay with that
same audience. Channel 4 always offers a variety of different documentaries
and I think this will be one of them.
