Note To Content Producers
This document has been produced by the BBC's Editorial Compliance Working Party to provide you with detailed guidance about how to minimise the risks of "going live".
It is recommended that you tailor this document to reflect the specific needs of your output area and that you detail within it your own referral procedures.
It is also recommended that you produce a "check list" for prominent display in studios /galleries /scanners which details agreed procedures in the event of a serious problem occurring live on air. It should also list office and out of hours contact numbers for senior editorial figures to consult about such issues.
Your compliance manager is available to offer advice about a check list and referral procedures.
