Assessments
The co-regulatory framework is set out in the Broadcasting Services Act 1992. It gives broadcasters the chance to respond to – and resolve – all complaints about alleged breaches of broadcasting codes before we get involved.
If the complainant:
- has been to the broadcaster and isn’t satisfied with the response
- has not received a response
we assess their complaint to decide if we investigate.
We also look at all complaints that allege a breach of licence conditions and standards.
