Regulator announces highest level of investigation after leadership concerns
The Charity Commission has launched a statutory inquiry into the transgender charity Mermaids after identifying concerns about its management.
The regulator said the inquiry — its most serious form of investigation — was triggered by “newly identified issues” around the youth charity’s “governance and management”.
It had already announced a compliance case into Mermaids following safeguarding concerns, but a statutory inquiry marks a significant ramping up of its examination of the charity. It will try to establish if there was any mismanagement or misconduct by trustees.
Nuremberg 2.0 is needed.
