** Hastings Rock Radio **
Re comments on text messaging, I agree that something needs to be in
there to state that these don't come in via email & we should explain
just *how* they appear in the main studio. But there's no need to
mention home studio setups, this is purely for the central studio. I've
covered that off in the home studio doc, which as it stands just links
out to Tony's setup guide in DBox (which, FWIW I don't think anyone
will bother doing because it'll be seen as too complicated but we'll
see).

Subject: [Hastings Rock] Re: Compliance, Rules and Operating
Instructions
Please find attached two documents;
HR1 - COMPLIANCE, REQUIREMENTS and CODES OF PRACTICE - Revision 2
HR2 - OPERATING RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS - Revision 2
Thank you Jon for updating the various requirements for operating in
HR2. If there are any further updates to this document (HR2), can you
please forward them to me by March 31st latest.
HR 1 has also been revised and I have now incorporated the Compliance
Structure and Responsibilities that forms part of the new extensive
requirements of our licence. This is somewhat cast in tablets of
stone although as part of our licence we must ensure that we have
‘Preventative’ as well as ‘Corrective’ measures to ensure Compliance.
This year sees a further move away from Inspection and towards
Preventing. In short, it is no longer acceptable to wait for a
complaint before we act.
Hence, we must take all reasonable steps to make sure that all
presenters (including guests), fully comply with the OFCOM Code.
In pursuance of this I recommend:
* The Committee make themselves familiar with the document.
* Emailing presenters a copy of HR1 and include a high emphasis
the criticality of compliance, particularly the ramifications of
non-compliance.
* Asking them to acknowledge receipt (If we don’t receive an
acknowledgement, we chase them on the phone and log their response)
I know this is not the most exciting aspect of being part of Hastings
Rock but nowadays it is pretty critical.

I have updated the Compliance and Cdes Of Practice Document (HR1) to
incorporate any OFCOM requirements and also to incorporate the
modifications suggested by Rick. If you recall, these were in
response to the incidents we experienced in Rocktober. I will send
this document later to keep things simple.
For clarity HR1 contains the ‘statutory’ requirements, with which we
must comply. This is the document that OFCOM are interested in, and
updates are quite straightforward.
However, HR2 is the Operating Rules and Instructions, which are our
ADOPTED rules and instructions. OFCOM are not interested in this
document.
That said, I am anticipating it needs updating to reflect what we
will be doing in May. I think this mainly affects Nick and Jon, but
everyone needs to review the document nonetheless. Please send any
updates to me to incorporate into the updated document, which in turn
will be circulated to all DJs before commencement of the May
broadcast.
Thanks,
Sarah
