Leaked Emails Show BBC Chiefs’ Concern Over Confidence In Bullying, Harassment & Whistleblowing Procedures
BBC bullying and harassment procedures are concerning, according to internal emails from Deborah Turness & Kate Phillips, head of news and content.
In her email to her team, Turness noted: “Our scores on how we handle bullying and harassment are not where they should be, with 48% thinking we deal with concerns appropriately and only 43% of people saying they have confidence in our whistleblowing policy.” Turness’ email went on to say: “It’s really important that this improves – we are committed to doing better.” She cited how the workplace culture review will “include changes and actions that will be put in place to address the findings.” Deadline revealed that one of Turness’ top brass, Breakfast boss Richard Frediani, was recently given more power after facing allegations of bullying, favoritism and shaking a female colleague.
