Inside the Trust

BBC Trustee Rotha Johnston, with colleagues from the Trust Unit, at a public meeting.

The BBC Trust, as the governing body of the BBC, is separate from the Executive which manages the BBC’s day-to-day operations.

Our job is to represent licence fee payers and make sure the Executive delivers the high quality programmes and services the public wants, while ensuring that the BBC is accountable and open. We also protect the independence of the BBC from commercial or political influence.

Here you can find details of the Trustees and their remuneration and an explanation of how we run the Trust in the interests of all licence fee payers.
