Ofcom will be holding a broadcasting compliance workshop in Cardiff this November, as part of a series of compliance workshops taking place across the UK.
The workshop will take place on 07 November 2019 at the Ofcom office in Cardiff. Ofcom staff will provide an overview of licensees’ obligations under the terms of their Ofcom licence, including compliance with the Broadcasting Code, and members of Ofcom’s Broadcast Licensing team and Standards and Audience Protection team will be present to answer any questions licensees may have. At the workshop, Ofcom staff will be able to provide general advice, but will not be able to give detailed compliance advice.
If you are a broadcaster in Wales and would like to attend please email Broadcast Licensing (Broadcast.Licensing@ofcom.org.uk), stating the name of the individuals who will be attending from your organisation. Space at the event is limited, so initially attendance is restricted to one individual per organisation but may be able to allow second guests once final numbers are known.
Bydd Ofcom yn cynnal gweithdy cydymffurfiaeth darlledu yng Nghaerdydd y mis Tachwedd hwn, fel rhan o gyfres o weithdai cydymffurfio sy’n cael eu cynnal ledled y DU.
Bydd y gweithdy’n cael ei gynnal ar 7 Tachwedd 2019 yn swyddfa Ofcom yng Nghaerdydd. Bydd staff Ofcom yn rhoi trosolwg o rwymedigaethau trwyddedigion dan delerau eu trwydded Ofcom, gan gynnwys cydymffurfio â'r Cod Darlledu, a bydd aelodau o dîm Trwyddedu Darlledu Ofcom a'r tîm Safonau a Diogelu Cynulleidfaoedd yn bresennol i ateb unrhyw gwestiynau a allai fod gan drwyddedigion. Yn y gweithdy, bydd staff Ofcom yn gallu rhoi cyngor cyffredinol, ond ni fyddant yn gallu rhoi cyngor manwl ar gydymffurfio.
Os ydych chi’n ddarlledwr teledu neu radio yng Nghymru ac yr hoffech fod yn bresennol, anfonwch e-bost at Drwyddedu Darlledu (Broadcast.Licensing@ofcom.org.uk), gan nodi enw’r unigolion a fydd yn bresennol o’ch sefydliad chi. Mae llefydd yn y digwyddiad yn brin, ac felly, i gychwyn dim ond un unigolyn o bob sefydliad a gaiff fod yn bresennol ond mae’n bosibl y gellir caniatáu ail westeion pan fyddwn yn gwybod y niferoedd terfynol.
