A whistleblowing hotline launched by Yorkshire to allow people to safely report discrimination has been contacted by 36 individuals in its first week, the club announced on Monday.
The service was initiated by the club’s new chairman, Lord Kamlesh Patel, as part of his response to Azeem Rafiq’s allegations of institutional racism at Yorkshire, and reports will feed into the investigation into unlawful discrimination at Headingley being overseen by Mohinderpal Sethi QC of Littleton Chambers in London. As part of their commitment to transparency Yorkshire will regularly publish the number of people who have contacted the hotline.
