Sky News has spoken to more than 50 people who say they have witnessed or been on the receiving end of sexual misconduct and harassment within leading drama schools across the UK.

Students have described their training as being “indoctrinated into this cult-like bubble, and the expectation was to say yes to everything”.

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by correspondent Ashna Hurynag, who has been investigating these allegations. She shares more about her reporting, plus intimacy coordinator Robbie Taylor Hunt describes how to properly teach consent and intimacy in acting.

This podcast contains descriptions of sexual misconduct and harassment.
