ITV News released a report featuring allegations of behaviour by TV chef and presenter Gino D’Acampo across several productions over the years
Stories like this highlight something the industry has known for a long time: issues rarely start with a single moment or a single person.
They usually start much earlier in the structure around them.
Across our own data, one pattern keeps repeating:
When people don’t feel safe to speak up, small behaviours go unaddressed.
When complaints feel risky, problems become invisible until they’re too big to ignore.
None of this is unique to one production, one presenter, or one company.
It’s a wider industry challenge, and it requires systemic solutions, not just reactions to headlines.
The question is not: “Who is at fault?”
The question is: “How do we build environments where early concerns can be raised safely, consistently, and without career risk?”
This moment is another reminder that psychological safety isn’t a “soft” topic.
It’s a structural one with prevention as a core part of responsible productions.
