The Royal Charter
The Royal Charter is the constitutional basis for the 大象传媒. It sets out the 大象传媒鈥檚 Object, Mission and Public Purposes. The Charter also outlines the Corporation鈥檚 governance and regulatory arrangements, including the role and composition of the 大象传媒 Board.
The current Charter began on 1 January 2017 and ends on 31 December 2027.
The Government will carry out a mid-term review of the Charter, focussing on governance and regulatory arrangements. This review is not a full Charter Review and so will not look at the 大象传媒鈥檚 mission, purpose or the method by which it is funded.
The Agreement
The Agreement between the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and the 大象传媒 sits alongside the Charter. It provides further detail on many of the topics outlined in the Charter including the 大象传媒's funding and its regulatory duties.
The Agreement runs coterminous to the Charter but can be amended during the Charter period subject to the agreement of the Secretary of State and the 大象传媒.
The List of UK Public Services
As part the Agreement with the Secretary of State the 大象传媒 must maintain and publish a list of UK Public Services setting out the name of the service, the type of service and a brief description of the service.
