BBC Trust

The Trust has published its conclusions following an evaluation by the BBC of the processes for handling conflicts of interest for senior managers. 

Trustees requested this from BBC management in December 2015, having concluded that they would not proceed with investigating a complaint in relation to Alan Yentob and his role as Chairman of Kids Company.  Trustees concluded that it was, however, right to consider if there were lessons to be learnt, and asked the BBC to report to the Trust on whether any changes should be made to the processes for managing conflicts affecting senior managers.
