Code Of Practice

You can order copies of the industry Code of Practice through the SoE. These are free of charge although it does help if you can cover the cost of postage.

The Press Complaints Commission administers the successful self-regulatory system, the foundation stone of which is the Code of Practice.

The Code performs a dual function: it gives the industry a firm set of principles to guide it; and it gives the Commission a clear and consistent framework within which it can address complaints.

The Society of Editors produces on behalf of the industry a pocket-sized version of the code so that all journalists can carry a copy with them.
