Introduction
Makeover programmes are programmes where a home or garden is transformed with the work being undertaken or initiated by the programme.
A BBC makeover may leave some contributors with a valuable asset, as the value of their property may be increased. Therefore it is important that:
- licence payers' money is spent wisely
- the selection of contributors is fair and diverse
- contributors do not commercially exploit the makeover.
This guidance applies to all makeover arrangements. Building on the advice currently provided in the BBC's Editorial Guidelines, they also clarify the circumstances under which it is appropriate for contributors to pay towards the cost of their makeover. There are legal implications here and care must be taken to follow the attached.
This guidance covers the following:
- Funding Makeover Programmes
- Selection of Makeover Programme contributors
- Planning Regulations
- Aftercare
- Conflicts of Interest
