Television is seen by millions and touches the daily lives of almost everyone in the UK. At a time of media fragmentation, the wide reach of ITV’s family of channels still helps to shape our common culture, reflect our cultural values, and stimulate debate.

When our programming tackles issues that are important matters of public debate we always strive to raise these in an appropriate editorial context; handle them in a responsible way; and make it possible for our viewers to engage with those issues if they wish. We also recognise that our programming can have a profound effect on our viewers and we put in place appropriate services where viewers can get further support and advice.

We have rigorous processes to ensure the television programmes we make and air comply with regulatory requirements and to protect consumers using our online services.

The UK is a diverse country and we strive to reflect its demographic makeup and offer services to ensure people with disabilities can enjoy our programmes. Reflecting society is a vital part of keeping our programmes relevant.

ITV news programmes perform the essential function of keeping people informed about public issues. We are committed to producing trusted news that is reliable, relevant and meets the highest editorial standards.
