The guidance has been issued following a review into BBC presenters' social media.

It comes after a review into BBC social media guidelines was published by former ITN boss John Hardie.Those who work in BBC news and current affairs, such as news presenters, are already subject to stricter rules around impartiality when using social media. They must also not criticise the character of individual politicians in the UK, or comment on any issue of political debate during an election period, or take up an official role for a campaigning group.Strictly Come Dancing is named as one of the BBC's flagship shows under the new guidelines
The row erupted in March after the Match of the Day host wrote that the government's language about a new asylum policy was "not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s". Setting out his recommendations, Hardie said: "High-profile presenters outside of journalism should be able to express views on issues and policies - including matters of political contention - but stop well short of campaigning in party politics or for activist organisations."
