5.1 Introduction The jogos do brasil dia e horarioBBC aims to reflect the world as it is, including all aspects of the human experience and the realities of the natural world. The BBC must balance its right to freedom of expression, which allows it to publish innovative and challenging content, with the responsibility of avoiding unjustifiable offence.[1] Creative risk-taking is a vital part of the BBC's mission. However, in all output, the greater the risk of causing harm or offence, the greater the thought, care and planning required. The BBC has a right to freedom of expression under human rights legislation, which is reflected in the Charter. Freedom of expression includes the audience's right to access creative material, information, ideas, and content that may be contentious or offensive without interference but subject to restrictions prescribed by law and necessary in a democratic society. For the purposes of the Editorial Guidelines and unless stated otherwise, a child is someone under the age of 16 years. Young people are those aged 16 and 17.[2] It should be noted that these are not legal definitions.
