Appoint an independent 3rd party to undertake all complaints against the BBC.
The BBC is currently in charge of it own complaints procedure. Only after three phases can a complaint be referred to Ofcom. I have, on multiple occasions, complained about BBC content from television and radio and not once has my complaint been upheld.
I have requested statistical details of how many complaints are given rulings in favour of the complainant and no information has been provided. The BBC should not be able to self-regulate in this way. It is funded by the TV Licence fee and the tax payer and should therefore be accountable to its audience. We need an independent, objective and transparent complaints procedure.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure whether you want a new complaints procedure, in which complaints can be made directly to Ofcom as the independent regulator, or for a new independent organisation to handle all complaints about the BBC.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
