External Events Register for Q2 2025 published

The BBC has published the External Events Register for the second quarter of 2025.

The register was introduced in 2021 and details paid-for external work by staff in on-air journalism roles and senior leaders.

The vast majority of staff events in this quarter involved payments of £5k or less at 88% of all events disclosed, and 57% were below £1k.

All of these events were approved in line with the BBC’s rigorous guidelines prior to being undertaken, ensuring there was no conflict of interest with their work – perceived or otherwise.

The BBC recently published a new policy for staff to ensure the highest standards of impartiality across the organisation.
