Input: The report dismissed claims the Newsnight probe was dropped to protect tribute shows to the late TV presenter. Newsnight's editor and deputy are being replaced after another inquiry criticised a report which led to Lord McAlpine facing false claims of abuse. The BBC's head of news is returning to her job, but her deputy is to resign. The Pollard Review was set up by the BBC to see if there were management failings over the investigation, dropped by Newsnight in December 2011. The report, prepared by former head of Sky News Nick Pollard, said: "The decision to drop the original investigation was flawed and the way it was taken was wrong but I believe it was done in good faith. "It was not done to protect the Savile tribute programmes or for any improper reason." It only emerged in October that the six-week investigation had been dropped by BBC TV's flagship current affairs programme, just before ITV aired its own programme on the allegations. In Wednesday's main developments: Police are now aware of alleged abuse of hundreds of children and young people over five decades by Savile, who died in October 2011, aged 84. The BBC aired tribute programmes to the late DJ and television presenter over Christmas and New Year. In an email to staff, BBC acting director general Tim Davie said he was "pleased to say that the review found no evidence of any improper pressure" over dropping the programme. But he accepted that the "report exposed clear failings in some of our systems, the way we work together and make decisions". Responding to a question from Newsnight's Jeremy Paxman about why no-one had been sacked over the scandal, he said: "Success for me is not necessarily how many people I dismiss. It's about making a fair and proper judgement on the facts in front of me and making sure the BBC is in a position to rebuild trust." Mr Davie defended the £2m spent on the Pollard Review, saying: "It was right to spend that money because we had an allegation that was very fundamental to trust in the BBC." He said in future the corporation needed to be "better connected" and information should be shared better. But he said he was not in favour of adding more layers of management. "It's not about that, it's about clarity, simplicity of structure and actually just clear accountability," he told Newsnight. 'Serious questions' BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten said the corporation accepted the report in its "entirety". "I think that the issues of culture and leadership of the management problems that have been identified in that terrific, searingly honest report of Nick Pollard's are ones that have to be addressed," he said. BBC home editor Mark Easton said Mr Pollard had been confident the BBC could restore the trust of its audiences, but it would have to be earned. He said it was also interesting that the BBC Trust had said the problem was cultural, rather than being about structure or compliance. Culture Secretary Maria Miller said the report raised "serious questions around editorial and management issues at the BBC" and urged the Trust, the corporation's governing body, to "help tackle these". "I also remind the Trust how vital it is to publish all relevant evidence, as soon as possible, in order to re-build public trust and confidence in the BBC," she said. The Pollard Review involved the examination of 10,000 emails and detailed interviews with 19 individuals. Liz Dux, solicitor for 40 alleged victims of abuse by Savile - who are now seeking compensation from his estate - said the shelving of the report meant their suffering had been prolonged by a year. "Twelve months is an awful long time. It could have led to absolutely disastrous consequences for the victims, because if Savile's estate had been distributed in that twelve months they would have been left with absolutely no access to justice at all," she said. Mr Davie apologised on Newsnight for the fact that information gathered by the programme was not handed to police for 10 months. "We absolutely regret that that information wasn't passed on to the police," he said. Liz McKean, one of the journalists who worked on the Savile story, said the decision to drop it was "a breach of our duty to the women who trusted us to reveal that Jimmy Savile was a paedophile". She added: "Many found it difficult to share their experiences as vulnerable girls." Following the report's publication, the BBC announced a series of staff changes: Another review led by Dame Janet Smith, looking at the culture and practices of the BBC during the years in which Savile worked there, is expected next year.
