Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama Former failed to uphold duty of care toward two drama students, judge rules
Two former drama students who alleged their college failed to properly investigate allegations of sexual abuse, leaving a male student free to carry out more attacks, have won their legal battle.
A judge ruled in favour of Alyse McCamish and Sydney Feder, who said the prestigious Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (RWCMD) failed to uphold its duty of care to them. The court heard there was a culture of tolerance of sexual misconduct at the college, and that there was eye-rolling from some staff when the allegations were made.
