Thank you for signing, please share with anyone you know who believes that a place of work should be safe, and that staff should be supported through proper processes if/when they have a problem.

The Tyneside Cinema board is chaired by a trustee that has been there for 15 (non-consecutive) of the past 20 years. They have been involved throughout the entirety of these historical allegations of abuse and bullying, which currently date back to 2012. 

This person cant be left to be responsible for the 'independent' inquiry. Its an insult to all those who have suffered at Tyneside Cinema. the inquiry needs to be impartial, independent and transparent if anyone is to heal and if the cinema is to be trusted again.
