19_How_to_use_the_Guidelines.txt
1.9.1 Knowledge of and slot moneyfamiliarity with the Editorial Guidelines is an essential professional skill. Everyone who makes or presents BBC content is contractually required to observe and abide by them. 1.9.2 When applying these Guidelines, individuals and teams are expected to make most of the necessary judgements, but some issues require careful consideration at a higher level. No one should hesitate to ask for advice, and the Editorial Guidelines therefore advise, and sometimes require, reference to more senior editorial figures, Editorial Policy or specialists such as Programme Legal Advice or safety experts. 1.9.3 Editors and managers must be prepared to discuss areas of concern and be ready to offer guidance. They must support producers and other staff in the editorial management of their content, including the effective supervision of on-air presenters, reporters and other on-air roles. 1.9.4 Issues may arise that overlap with, or are separate from, editorial concerns. The BBC has specialist internal advisers on legal, data protection, safety, pronunciation, international filming, health and safeguarding matters, who should be consulted as appropriate. BBC News maintains bureaux around the world, a political research team and a head of statistics. The BBC has a separate legal team in Scotland who can advise on Scottish legal issues. Stop: Mandatory Referral: Any decision to proceed with content or continued publication of content contrary to BBC legal advice must be referred to the Divisional Director and Director Editorial Policy and Standards. if ("interactive" === "interactive") { const container = document.getElementById("componentBreakoutContainerbreakoutbox100425101258"); window.addEventListener('scroll', () =>{ const buffer = 240; const rect = container.getBoundingClientRect(); const windowHeight = window.innerHeight; // Defines if an element is not above or below the viewport and is within a buffer range above and below the middle of the viewport const isVisible = (rect.top >= 0) && (rect.bottom = windowHeight / 2 - buffer) && (rect.top + rect.height / 2 { container.classList.add('interactive-highlight-red'); if ("red" === "custom") document.getElementById("componentBreakoutContainerbreakoutbox100425101258").style.boxShadow = "inset 0 0 0 3px " }); }
