Explained in plain English
Who regulates the BBC?
The BBC is a public service broadcaster, funded by the licence fee, and is regulated by Ofcom. While Ofcom oversees its editorial standards and impartiality, legal disputes like Evri's libel claim are handled through the court system, just like any other organisation.
