Section_9_Children_and_Young_People_as_Contributors.txt
9.1 Introduction Children and best gifts for poker playersyoung people are important to the BBC. They contribute and interact with it in many different ways – as contributors, performers, presenters, through its interactive and user-generated content, via all of its services and on third-party platforms. The BBC should serve children and young people with high-quality, distinctive and duly impartial output and services which inform, educate and entertain. Ensuring the content they consume is appropriate is considered throughout the Editorial Guidelines and, specifically, in Section 5 Harm and Offence. Section 9 is concerned with how the BBC deals with under-18s who contribute to and interact with its content, whether or not it is aimed at them, or routinely includes them as contributors.[1] Children and young people have a right to speak out and to participate, as enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, but the welfare of those who contribute to content, must be safeguarded wherever in the world the BBC operates. For the purposes of this section of the Editorial Guidelines and unless stated otherwise, a child is someone under the age of 16 years. Young people are those aged 16 and 17. It should be noted that these are not legal definitions. Content makers are also subject to the law regarding children and the BBC's Safeguarding Policy. The BBC is committed to being inclusive and accessible to all and supporting reasonable adjustments, such as access requirements, across productions.
