Westminster’s Toxic Culture

Westminster’s Toxic Culture

Parliament is once again under fire over complaints about sexual harassment and bullying, with MPs suspended from their parties and claims of a toxic workplace culture going unchecked.

5 Live’s Naga Munchetty speaks to staff members and MPs who give their accounts of sexual harassment and bullying. Exactly five years after parliament set up a new system to deal with complaints, many of those campaigning to clean up the House have lost faith in it, saying it is too slow and complex.

Contains some strong language, and some distressing content, including descriptions of sexual assault and harassment.

If you've been affected by issues in this discussion, there is a range of organisations and websites that can offer you advice and support. You can find some of them listed on the BBC's Actionline website at bbc.co.uk/actionline.
