Public value tests

Here you will find links to the Trust's reports on the public value tests we carry out.

Public value tests give us hard evidence to help us decide whether or not we will allow the BBC to launch a new service or significantly change an existing one. If you want to find out more about the public value test process, please visit our New Services page.
