The Welsh Rugby Union has received six grievances in the last five years relating to either sexist, racist or homophobic behaviour while three members of staff have been subject to disciplinary action following allegations of such behaviour, a damning new Senedd report has revealed.
The WRU employs some 224 staff directly, while there are 430 in the wider WRU Group which includes Principality Stadium staff.
Allegations of sexism and misogyny have dogged the WRU this year since the BBC aired an investigations programme detailing allegations from former employees in January. That prompted the resignation of then-chief executive Steve Phillips, the union establishing an external taskforce to review its behaviours, with that work ongoing, and governance changes being pushed through to establish a more diverse board.
