Richard was at the forefront of a number of significant cases in 2018 and continues to lead the campaign for a more diverse workplace. Most notably Richard led the investigation for The Old Vic into the allegations of sexual harassment against Kevin Spacey. He then advised in the development of The Old Vic’s Guardians Programme, designed to allow employees a confidential outlet to share concerns about behaviour at work. He continues to advise and train other organisations who want to set up a similar programme and so far over 130 organisations have established a Guardians programme, from a variety of sectors and locations around the world.
