BBC does not have ‘toxic’ culture, review finds after Huw Edwards scandal | Ents & Arts News

A review into the BBC workplace has ruled out the presence of a “toxic” culture but says improvements could be made.

The report recommended the corporation take quicker action when staff step out of line, as well as intervening earlier and being clearer on the standards of behaviour expected from staff.

The independent report, sparked by the Huw Edwards scandal, was carried out by Change Associates, the same management consultancy that led a similar review in 2013, following the Jimmy Savile scandal.
