Challenging Channel 4’s “The Great ADHD Myth”

Complain to Ofcom

 

Channel 4 told millions that ADHD being a neurodevelopmental disorder is “a myth”. Ofcom is the regulator that can hold them to account – and it acts on complaints from the public.

If you watched the programme and believe it misled viewers, or failed the child at the centre of its experiment, please complain. It takes about five minutes:

  1. Open Ofcom’s complaint page (button below) and select the programme.
  2. Copy our template subject and description into the form.
  3. If you can, edit the description to add a sentence in your own words about how the programme affected you. Personal words carry extra weight. But don’t worry if not. It is submitting that counts.

Together we can make a difference.

Open the Ofcom Complaint Page

Opens in a new tab

Template Subject

1. Subject (paste into Ofcom's Subject box)

202 characters. Ofcom's limit is 255.

Template “Description” [The complaint section]

Purposely not the full character count to make it easy to add your own comment, should you want to.

2. Description (paste into Ofcom's Description box)

Do consider editing to say, in your own words, how the programme affected you - it makes your complaint count for far more. Keep under 1500 characters.
