A thematic review of BBC production on migration has been commissioned by the board of the society.

It is part of his responsibility to set and monitor editorial standards across the BBC.

The review will assess the BBC's coverage of major migration issues affecting the UK, including boats crossing the English Channel.

It will also look at coverage of UK government policy on sending some asylum seekers to Rwanda.

Coverage of refugees fleeing Ukraine torn apart by the war following the invasion of Russia will also be examined.

The study is one of several thematic reviews carried out by the BBC as part of of the company's 10-point impartiality plan.

In January, the company released its review of taxation, government spending, government borrowing and debt production.
