Accountability
is changing!
There will be big changes to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s accountability
under the new Royal Charter starting from January 2007.
The local and regional advisory councils and the English National
Forum will disappear, to be replaced by larger Regional Audience
Councils reporting to the Audience Council England.
The councils will have a wider remit. They will advise the new
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Trust (which replaces the Board of Governors) on all national,
regional and local services and on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ policy.
