Appointment of the Chairman of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ

Summary of complaint

We’ve received complaints from people unhappy with Richard Sharp's appointment as Chairman of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ.


Our response

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ plays no role in the recruitment of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Chairman, which is a matter for the UK Government.Μύ Details of members of the Board and the appointments process can be found

On 23 January the Office of the Commissioner for Public Appointments announced that there would be a review of the competition for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Chair appointment to ensure it was conducted in line with the Governance Code for Public Appointments.

In recognition that the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s relationship with audiences is rooted in trust, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Nominations Committee will also ensure that all the appropriate guidelines regarding conflicts of interest have been followed within the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ since Richard Sharp joined as Chairman. The Committee will be chaired by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Board’s Senior Independent Director, Sir Nicholas Serota, and the Committee’s conclusions will be published.
