BBC Initiates Review to Address Workplace Power Abuse

The BBC's independent review aims to tackle power imbalances and improve complaint handling after the Huw Edwards scandal.

The review follows the scandal involving former presenter Huw Edwards, who was convicted for offenses related to child abuse images.
The BBC aims to prevent abuse of power by ensuring all staff adhere to the corporation's values and standards.
Concerns have been raised about the BBC's HR system, which some staff describe as ineffective in handling complaints against high-profile figures.
Change Associates, a consultancy firm, will conduct the review, focusing on making the workplace safe and encouraging staff to report issues.
The review will assess the progress since the 2013 'respect at work' report and provide recommendations to strengthen the BBC's workplace culture.
