Evan Davis and guests discuss the culture of defensiveness and denial that exists in some organisations, from the private to the public and charity sectors.
A former Oxfam worker describes how she was forced to blow the whistle on widespread sexual exploitation and abuse inside the charity, and the panel explores the ways in which leaders can tackle wrongdoing and encourage their teams to call it out.
Evan is joined by:
Helen Evans, former head of global safeguarding at Oxfam, now CEO of Cavernoma Alliance UK:
