Complaint

A visitor to the site complained about β€œovertly sexual material” appearing on the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ News front page.


Outcome

The caption of the item in question raised the issue of whether vibrator use by women affected sexual enjoyment.Β  This was inconsistent with the requirement of the Guidelines that online content immediately accessible one click from the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ home page (as this was) should normally be suitable for a general audience including children.
Upheld


Further action

Senior editors have reminded staff to ensure that content which appears on the News front page should normally be suitable for a general audience, including children.
