Revisiting past events
We must consider how to minimise any possible distress to surviving victims and relatives when we intend to examine past events which involved suffering and trauma. This applies even if the events or material to be used were once in the public domain. The way we achieve this will depend on, for example, the scale and location of the original incident. But so far as is reasonably practicable, surviving victims or the immediate families of the dead people who are to feature in the programme should normally be notified of our plans. We should proceed against any reasonable objections of those concerned only if there is a clear public interest.
