Welcome to The Daily T Investigates, a new series bringing you the best of The Telegraph’s investigative journalism from the heart of the newsroom.
From Jimmy Savile to Huw Edwards, the BBC has in recent years been associated with a number of high-profile cases of paedophilia. But there have also been other cases of child abuse linked to the BBC, and now the organisation is facing fresh questions about whether it has done enough to protect children by properly vetting people coming into its offices or working on its behalf.
In this special episode of The Daily T hosted by head of investigations Claire Newell, we reveal a previously untold story of child sexual abuse at the hands of someone working for the organisation and expose how the BBC contracted a convicted paedophile as a chauffeur for 30 years. A warning that some listeners may find some of the reporting upsetting.
