About this analysis

The Guardian explains what non-disclosure agreements are, which UK laws already limit their abusive use, and what campaigners and ministers propose next, after the Walliams allegations and Russell Brand's conviction. It keeps the allegations against Walliams separate from Brand's conviction and reports Walliams' denial. Nothing in it misleads the reader.

What it gets right

  • “the allegations of improper behaviour by David Walliams – which he denies – and the conviction of Russell Brand for rape and sexual assault”

    The article keeps an unproven allegation apart from a court conviction. It reports Walliams' denial in the same sentence, so the reader does not take the allegation as proven.

  • “unenforceable under section 17 of the Victims and Prisoners Act 2024”

    The article names the exact statute and section and gives the date it took effect. The reader can check the legal change for themselves.

  • “Zelda Perkins , who broke an NDA to expose the criminality of the Hollywood director Harvey Weinstein”

    The article names the campaigner behind the proposals and says why her view carries weight. The wishlist is attributed to her campaign, not given in the outlet's own voice.
