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.

For £500 you can give your crew an anonymous voice and protect yourself from this kind of reputational risk.
