6 Personal Benefits
Individuals must not accept personal benefits or benefits for themselves, their family or close personal relations from organisations or people with whom they might have dealings on the BBC's behalf. Unacceptable personal benefits would include goods, discounts, services, cash, loans, gratuities, or entertainment outside the normal scope of business hospitality. Accepting significant hospitality from individuals or organisations outside the BBC could lead to a conflict of interest. Anyone working for the BBC should consult their Head of Department before accepting such hospitality.
Strict rules apply to the acceptance of free or reduced cost facilities by programmes: see the BBC Editorial Guidelines, Section 13, Editorial Integrity and Independence.
