Requests & dispositions
Ofcom attributes the notice-indicator amendment to Full Fact’s response and questions at an earlier DSIT meeting. Its FOI answer separately reports initial planning and a May 2026 approval window.
Solid lines: documented in a cited record. Dashed: reported or inferred. Hollow arrows: proposed powers. Choose a connection for its evidence.
The response is dated October 2025; the meeting was in August. No Full Fact attendance or initiation is inferred. Record existence and an approval window do not reveal the underlying minute, draft edits or approver’s terms.
Full Fact additional-safety response — 17 October 2025 → was cited as an input to a recommendation amendment → Ministerial-notice indicator — Ofcom-attributed change
2026-06-09 – 2026-06-09
Reported by the cited source
Ofcom says it amended recommendations in response to Full Factp17 and earlier DSIT-meeting questions. This establishes regulator-attributed contribution, not exclusive authorship or verbatim adoption of Full Fact's scope language.
Ofcom / DSIT meeting — 4 August 2025 → was cited as another input to the amendment → Ministerial-notice indicator — Ofcom-attributed change
Meeting4August2025; attribution in June2026 statement.
Reported by the cited source
Ofcom cites questions at a4August2025 meeting with DSIT alongside Full Fact's later response. No minute supplies the question text, attendees or allocated drafting role.
Ministerial-notice indicator — Ofcom-attributed change → added consideration of a ministerial-notice indicator → Ofcom crisis protocol recommendations — June2026
2026-06-09 – 2026-06-09
Ofcom's attributed amendment requires considering the notice alongside other indicators. It does not transfer the provider's crisis determination wholesale to Full Fact, DSIT or the Secretary.
Ofcom → reported a meeting with DSIT → Ofcom / DSIT meeting — 4 August 2025
2025-08-04 – 2025-08-04

FOI02210914 says work began23October2024 following17October parliamentary and22October Secretary correspondence. This is agency confirmation, not acquisition of those letters or the plan contents.
Ofcom → reported a final approval window → Crisis recommendations approval — 21–26 May2026 window
2026-05-21 through2026-05-26; exact act/day unknown.
Reported by the cited source
The same FOI response identifies21–26May2026 as final approval. It does not supply a signed approval, approver identity or veto conditions. Its separate no-either/or-choice answer does not mean no approval brief exists.
Full Fact additional-safety response — 17 October 2025 → made consultation requests → Ofcom
2025-10-17 – 2025-10-17
Full Fact requested broader scope, coordination, oversight and access, with expression and proportionality arguments. Publication and citation are not a grant of those powers.
Ofcom → published crisis protocol recommendations → Ofcom crisis protocol recommendations — June2026
2026-06-09 – 2026-06-09
Ofcom's9June2026 statement sets a crisis framework; laid draft and later issue/commencement remain separate stages. No current activation is inferred.
Ofcom → declined extending formal crisis-contact obligations to NGOs/fact-checkers → Ofcom crisis protocol recommendations — June2026
2026-06-09 – 2026-06-09
The statement records requests for formal contacts and real-time access, encourages relevant collaboration, but declines extending formal contact obligations beyond police. This is a class-level disposition, not proof that every Full Fact data-access demand was individually resolved.
Ofcom → declined a central coordinating role and routine analysis submission → Ofcom crisis protocol recommendations — June2026
2026-06-09 – 2026-06-09
Ofcom declines central cross-service coordination and automatic submission/publication of every post-crisis analysis. It retains supervision/request powers; not every oversight request is rejected.
