Alison Stewart, executive editor of CBeebies, part of the BBC’s children’s department which will move to Media City in Salford as part of the corporation’s relocation plans, has been appointed as head of Cbeebies Production, Animation and Acquisitions.

Stewart currently oversees all in-house development and is involved in all aspects of production for CBeebies and will now take on the responsibilities of Kay Benbow who has been promoted to controller of the channel.

Stewart commented; "This is a fantastic opportunity for me. I look forward to leading the team to Salford next year, to furthering our creative development within the BBC and to benefiting from our relationships with UK and international partners."

The BBC's Strategy Review made Children's programming one of the Corporation's top five editorial priorities. It proposes increasing investment in children's programming by £10m a year from 2013, building on the additional investment of £25.5m over three years already secured in this licence fee period.
