See Section 5: Fairness, Contributors & Consent of the Editorial Guidelines.
The BBC strives to be fair to all - fair to those who are the subjects of our content, fair to contributors, and fair to our audiences.
We will be open, honest and straightforward in our dealings with contributors and audiences, unless there is a clear public interest in doing otherwise, or we need to consider important legal issues or issues of confidentiality.
Where allegations are being made, the individuals or organisations concerned should normally have the right of reply.
