In her investigation, Smith called for evidence from people who were the subject of inappropriate sexual conduct by [[Jimmy Savile]] on BBC premises, or on location for the BBC; people who knew of or suspected such conduct; anyone who raised concerns about Savile's conduct within the BBC; people who worked for or with Savile on programmes at the BBC between about 1964 and 2007, or who were familiar with "the culture or practices of the BBC during that time insofar as they may have been relevant to preventing or enabling the sexual abuse of children, young people or teenagers"; and people who held senior positions at the BBC who may have relevant information.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.damejanetsmithreview.com/|title=Appeal for witnesses – Jimmy Savile|work=The Dame Janet Smith Review|date=November 2012|accessdate=24 December 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20325913|title=Jimmy Savile scandal: Dame Janet Smith seeks witnesses|work=BBC News |date=14 November 2012 |accessdate=24 December 2012}}</ref>
 
She found that Savile had sexually abused 72 people and had raped eight people, including an eight-year-old,. Offences had occurred at "virtually every one of the BBC premises at which he worked". She also found that some members of the BBC staff were aware of complaints against Savile but did nothing about them.
