The BBC Trust
Getting the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers
Getting the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers
What do we do?
The BBC Trust is the governing body of the BBC. We're here to make sure the public who own and pay for the BBC get the best out of the BBC.
We set the strategy for the BBC after wide public consultation and we make sure those who manage the BBC stick to the course we've set.
We guard the independence of the BBC from undue political or commercial pressure. We ensure the BBC has high standards – and lives up to them. We make sure the BBC gives excellent value for money.
