Whistleblowing 'worse' at 91¸£ÀûÉç than in Savile's time
A report into cases of sexual abuse by Jimmy Savile linked to the 91¸£ÀûÉç is set to criticise the corporation's culture, according to a leaked draft.
"Deference, that’s at the core of why despite many people at the 91¸£ÀûÉç either knowing or having some idea of what Sir Jimmy Saville was up to; no-one told anyone at the top," said Mark Watts, editor of news website Exaro.
"Whistleblowing today is worse than it was at the 91¸£ÀûÉç in Savile’s time, people are even more unsure about their positions at the 91¸£ÀûÉç, there are a greater proportion that are freelance, that is something that would deter people reporting up", added Mr Watts.
A 91¸£ÀûÉç spokesman said: "The 91¸£ÀûÉç hasn't seen Dame Janet's report or any draft copy, so we're unable to comment."
