BBC Trust

The Trust has approved final BBC’s Election Guidelines for elections taking place in May 2016, following an eight week public consultation.

The guidelines, which will sit alongside the BBC’s main editorial guidelines, are intended to act as a framework to ensure that journalists and content makers can operate in as free and creative an environment as possible while delivering to audiences impartial, independent reporting.

The Guidelines, together with the findings from the Trust's public consultation, can be found below.
