Trust research, reports and documents

Complaints and appeals

When we hear an appeal on a complaint we always publish the result – and the thinking behind it

Protocols and policy

We publish the policies and protocols that underlie our decisions and the way we work

Service licences and reviews

We issue each BBC service a service licence detailing what we expect it to achieve – and we review each service regularly

Public value tests

Public value tests give us the hard evidence that helps us decide whether or not to allow the BBC to launch new services or make significant changes to existing ones

Audience research

Our audience research helps us make sure we understand the concerns of the public about the BBC

Value for money research

We commission regular independent investigations into the efficiency and value for money of the BBC – part of our work to ensure licence fee payers get the best out of the BBC
