أغر؟´«أ½

The أغر؟´«أ½ takes all breaches of its Editorial Guidelines seriously and regrets that Reef Television failed to meet the high standards that the أغر؟´«أ½ expects of all programme makers.

As the report from the Trust's Editorial Standards Committee makes clear, Reef Television co-operated fully throughout the أغر؟´«أ½ investigation and never deliberately set out to mislead either the audience or the أغر؟´«أ½.

However, during the investigation a number of editorial breaches came to light in أغر؟´«أ½ Daytime programmes and these have resulted in a series of penalties for Reef Television, including an agreement to a compensatory payment to the أغر؟´«أ½ and a three-month suspension of all business.

During the suspension, at the أغر؟´«أ½'s insistence, but with the company's full cooperation, Reef Television was required to overhaul completely its compliance processes and editorial standards training.

Following a rigorous and thorough process, the أغر؟´«أ½ is now satisfied that the company has compliance procedures and training of an appropriate standard.

The أغر؟´«أ½ has, therefore, decided to lift its suspension.

Reef Television will now resume work on two existing أغر؟´«أ½ projects and be free to pitch new work to the أغر؟´«أ½ in future.

The أغر؟´«أ½ will review Reef Television's editorial standards performance in six months time.
