´óÏó´«Ã½

A report into cases of sexual abuse by Jimmy Savile linked to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ 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 ´óÏó´«Ã½ 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 ´óÏó´«Ã½ in Savile’s time, people are even more unsure about their positions at the ´óÏó´«Ã½, there are a greater proportion that are freelance, that is something that would deter people reporting up", added Mr Watts.

A ´óÏó´«Ã½ spokesman said: "The ´óÏó´«Ã½ hasn't seen Dame Janet's report or any draft copy, so we're unable to comment."
