Workplace harassment and governance allegations
Public allegations concerning sexual assault, sexual harassment, bullying and workplace safety led more than 200 current and former employees to challenge the organisation's initial response. Trustees commissioned an independent review by Turning Moment and reported the organisation to the Charity Commission. The published summary found longstanding problems with harassment, bullying, respect, safety, staff trust and stress. Chief executive Holli Keeble and chair Lucy Armstrong subsequently resigned.
