Complaints

Kent Local News, operated by NHNN Ltd, is committed to maintaining the highest standards of journalism. We adhere to the Standards Code adopted by Impress and can only deal with complaints which relate to an alleged breach of the standards set out in this Code.

Making a Complaint

We can look into complaints about items we have published which are in our control. We can only deal with your complaint if you are:

• Personally and directly affected by an alleged breach of the Code
• A representative group affected by an alleged breach of the Code, where there is public interest in your complaint
• A third party seeking to ensure accuracy of published information

We are regulated by Impress, the independent press regulator recognised by the Press Recognition Panel. Initial complaints must be made to us, NHNN Ltd, using the following details:
