Complaints
If you have a complaint about any aspect of Radio Shields output or activity, we have put in place a Complaints and Grievance Procedure to deal with your complaint.

Radio Shields on-air output is licensed and regulated by the broadcast regulator OFCOM and we are under an obligation not to broadcast material which is unfair, harmful or likely to cause offence. OFCOM regulates this principally by acting upon complaints received from listeners.
Please note that OFCOM does not regulate any activity online or on social media.
If you hear something on air you think is wrong, please contact us in the first instance. We’d like to help put things right.
You can contact our Board of Directors to discuss anything you have heard on air. Please email admin@radioshields.co.uk and your complaint will be fully investigated with a written reply within 14 days.
