Order the BBC to immediately release the Dame Janet Smith Review findings.
Following revelations that Jimmy Savile was one of the most prolific child sex offenders of the twentieth century, the BBC commissioned a review into sexual abuse and bullying within the Corporation. The review was completed in May 2015 and BBC refuses to release its findings.
According to several media reports, the completed Dame Janet Smith Review is likely to contain very damaging revelations about what the BBC knew about sexual abuse at the time Savile was offending. There is the suggestion that the BBC is now withholding the completed report to protect itself until the renewal of its next Royal Charter.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The decision about when to publish the findings of this review is a matter for the BBC rather than the UK government or Parliament.
