What you have to do

Research your allocated regulatory body (OFCOM, BBFC, PEGI, ASA) and prepare a class presentation (in Prezi) with a handout for the other students.

You must research their

  • History (Timeline of key events)
  • Purpose
  • Effectiveness
  • Key Case Studies in its history (including relevant video footage)

Your presentation must answer the following questions:

  • What are the origins of the regulator and why was it brought in?
  • What are it's aims - how have these changed and why?
  • What regulatory practice does it take and how does it make it's decisions?
  • What are the arguments for and against its form of regulation?
  • How effective is the body? (Pros and Cons plus conclusion)

You must also apply the terminology we have been learning

  • Statutory or Self-regulation
  • Pro-active or Reactive

Presentations will be next Tuesday - they will be video'd for revision purposes
This will be FSA 3.2
