UK weighs entertainment safeguards

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is expected to meet entertainment-industry leaders next week, including BBC Director General Matt Brittin, to discuss the sector’s response to recent allegations, Deadline reports. The government is weighing stronger safeguards to protect women and whistleblowers; the BBC reports that Nandy could require industry participation in a watchdog if voluntary action proves insufficient. No legal requirement has been made, and compulsory oversight remains a possibility under consideration. The context includes Russell Brand’s conviction and separate allegations concerning David Walliams.
