UK's Broadcasting Code

The UK's Broadcasting Code is a set of rules that regulate television and radio to ensure they are fair, accurate, and respectful. It covers areas like preventing harm, protecting privacy, avoiding harmful or offensive content, and maintaining impartiality, especially during elections or political debates. The code is enforced by Ofcom, the broadcasting regulator, which can investigate complaints and impose sanctions if rules are broken. Its goal is to ensure broadcasting content is responsible, trustworthy, and suitable for all audiences, fostering a balanced and respectful media environment.
