While the report found “no widespread or significant BBC knowledge of allegations or concerns about predatory sexual behaviour” it was clear that “there were instances where the organisation missed opportunities that might have led to action”, the BBC said in a statement.
Corporation apologises as inquiry finds it missed opportunities that could have led to action over former Radio 1 DJ’s behaviour.
The BBC has admitted that it “fell short and failed people” – including its own staff – by failing to deal with “bullying and misogynistic” behaviour by its former Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood.
The inquiry was triggered by a 2022 Guardian and BBC News joint investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour by the DJ.
The corporation has apologised after a major external inquiry found that it “missed opportunities” that could have led to action.
