Contact Editorial Policy

If you do not know the name and contact details of your genre-specific adviser, there is a duty adviser available Monday to Friday 0900 to 1800 UK time to answer any questions. Please email the duty adviser (the full address is [email protected]) and the duty adviser will be in touch. If you are internal, you can find the name of the on the day adviser and their mobile number via the Editorial Policy Gateway site.

Outside of these hours, including weekends and UK public holidays, if you have an urgent enquiry or mandatory referral, information on how to contact David Jordan, Director Editorial Policy and Standards, or Ric Bailey, Chief Adviser Politics can be found on the duty adviser rota.

If you are making programmes or other content for the BBC, either in house or for an Independent company, the Editorial Policy team is available to offer advice on how to interpret and work within the Editorial Guidelines.

The earlier potentially contentious content is referred the better. It is a good idea to discuss your query with your editor or manager before contacting us. A list of editorial policy advisers and their specialist areas is available on the Editorial Policy Gateway page.
