Introduction
We are committed to working collaboratively with others to deepen the impact of our programmes, extend creative possibilities and maximise public value.
Under the terms of the BBC's Charter and Agreement, no licence fee or grant-in-aid funded BBC service can broadcast sponsored programmes or advertising. Money from external organisations and individuals must not be used for any production costs, apart from co-productions with recognised co-producers and very limited co-funding.
We must operate rigorous financial systems and keep clearly separate budgets for broadcast and non broadcast costs.
