Documented contribution route from consultation and departmental engagement to wording
This subject is Ofcom's attributed June 2026 amendment requiring a ministerial public-statement notice to be considered among a provider's crisis indicators. Ofcom links the change to Full Fact's response and earlier questions at a DSIT meeting.
Ofcom's statement identifies Full Fact's page 17 and an Ofcom/DSIT meeting on 4 August 2025. Full Fact's response was dated later, on 17 October. The amended recommendation treats a notice alongside other indicators; it is not an automatic crisis switch or a transfer of provider judgement to either stakeholder. The meeting minutes and underlying wording proposals were not acquired.
