Editorial Guidelines in Full

Privacy

Consent

We will not seek to infringe privacy unless justified by a clear public interest or we have obtained consent. In potentially sensitive places, for example, ambulances, hospitals, schools and prisons, we should normally obtain two separate consents, one for gathering the material and the other for broadcasting it, unless it is justified not to obtain such consents.

If an individual or organisation asks us to stop recording or live broadcasting, because of a concern about privacy, we should normally do so, unless it is editorially justified to continue.
