Does this mean that no learning grid will be allowed to operate? I thought the whole idea of a ’safe’ site had been acheived by jam. Does this mean that no learning grid will be allowed to operate?

It was hoped that they would be resettled over in the hitherto expanding BBC Jam service, but not now, so it looks as if these key staff will be lost to the BBC. Even more serious is that the suspension of BBC Jam and the stopping of school TV production means that the BBC now makes no formal education provision at all for children and schools I know the BBC Trust has asked for '..fresh proposals for how the BBC meets its public purpose of promoting formal education in the context of school age children', but by the time this is completed. many key TV production staff will have been sacked. Time to make a fuss.
