The mother who raised concerns to the BBC about former anchor Huw Edwards last year has shared the impact speaking out had as she felt 'the whole world was against her'
The woman who raised concerns about Huw Edwards last year says she felt "the whole world was against her".
She told The Sun: "I thought perhaps it was best if I wasn't here anymore. I felt the whole world was against me. I kept seeing front pages criticising what I had done - and old BBC friends of Huw who said he was a wonderful man." The corporation launched a review into its complaints procedure after allegations about a "household name" presenter were published in a national newspaper.
It continued: "Although our existing processes and systems are, on the whole, working effectively, this review shows that we need to join them up better to ensure no matter how a non-editorial complaint comes into the BBC it is escalated swiftly, when needed, and dealt with by the right people." “In November 2023, whilst Mr Edwards was suspended, the BBC as his employer at the time was made aware in confidence that he had been arrested on suspicion of serious offences and released on bail whilst the police continued their investigation. At the time, no charges had been brought against Mr Edwards and the BBC had also been made aware of significant risk to his health.
