人们担忧关键领域缺乏监督，因为卫生编辑职位也将在旨在节省550万英镑的裁员中取消。BBC将不再设有专门的教育编辑，这是一项削减成本计划的一部分，该计划将导致BBC新闻部100个岗位流失，学校领导人将其描述为“深感遗憾”。

BBC员工已被告知，教育编辑和社会事务编辑的职位将合并为一个职位，这是一轮将节省550万英镑的变革的一部分。然而，知名工会和活动人士警告称，这项改革将削弱对两个过于重要、不能没有专门BBC职位的专业领域的监督。
BBC staff have been told that the roles of education editor and social affairs editor are to be combined into a single position as part of a round of changes that will save £5.5m. However, prominent unions and campaigners are warning the reform will dilute scrutiny of two specialisms that are too important to go without a dedicated BBC role.
