A Central Scotland MSP is calling for reform at the Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) following allegations that it mishandled complaints including sexual harassment claims involving its ex-chairman Jordan Linden, the former North Lanarkshire Council leader.
Charity regulator OSCR has contacted the parliament and calls are being made for chief executive Ben McKendrick to stand aside while investigations are ongoing.
The Sunday Mail last month revealed the testimonies of five men who claim to have been groomed, sexually assaulted and harassed by Mr Linden and say that the charity and Mr McKendrick failed to protect them.
