On Friday, the broadcaster published the terms of reference for the review, which will be led by BBC group chief operating officer Leigh Tavaziva in July and “completed by late autumn”, it said. The BBC said the review will “identify all the routes” where different types of non-editorial complaints can be made and the policies and processes that are applied in handling these complaints. The corporation said it will “gather specific learnings” on the processes deployed in the handling of complaints made against Edwards, as well as “develop prioritised actions for improvement”. The review will be undertaken by Deloitte, under the direction of forensic partner Simon Cuerden, while Sir Nick Serota, senior independent director of the BBC, will provide board oversight, the corporation said.
