Summary of complaint
We’ve received complaints from people unhappy with Richard Sharp's appointment as Chairman of the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ.
Our response
The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ plays no role in the recruitment of the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Chairman, which is a matter for the UK Government. 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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Chair appointment to ensure it was conducted in line with the Governance Code for Public Appointments.
In recognition that the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ’s relationship with audiences is rooted in trust, the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Nominations Committee will also ensure that all the appropriate guidelines regarding conflicts of interest have been followed within the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ since Richard Sharp joined as Chairman. The Committee will be chaired by the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Board’s Senior Independent Director, Sir Nicholas Serota, and the Committee’s conclusions will be published.
