The board of Kids Company has been criticised by a watchdog for failing to properly oversee the children’s charity – a year after the founder, Camila Batmanghelidjh, and her trustees were cleared of mismanagement and misconduct by the high court.
The long-awaited report by the Charity Commission was forcefully rejected by Batmanghelidjh, who threatened to take legal action to overturn what she called a “travesty” and an attempt by the body to “rewrite history”.
