Big change to TV Licence as struggling households to get extra help – are you one of them?
"Our action plan will improve support for people in real financial difficulty to help them stay licensed and reduce risk of prosecution."I would like to thank all those who contributed to the review and Baroness Lola Young for her independent scrutiny and oversight.”
Baroness Young of Hornsey, the independent advisor for the Gender Disparity Review, added: "The BBC’s Action Plan has the potential to lead to fewer people – particularly those in real financial difficulty - being prosecuted and that is something to be welcomed. "This was a rigorous review which scrutinised a raft of new evidence and concluded there is no single source of the disproportionality that we see in prosecutions."Rather, the societal factors at play are also often present alongside disparities in the criminal justice system, and health and other services."
