The second investigation into 'wrongdoing' at Nottingham Castle has been concluded.
The independent inquiry was one of two to take place into the trust after a letter, penned by several current and former employees of colour in November, claimed there was an "environment of fear".
It followed an allegation made by Panya Banjoko, a curator at Nottingham Castle and PhD researcher at Nottingham Trent University, who said her granddaughters had been exposed to a hate incident within the castle grounds.
On Monday, January 31, Nottinghamshire Live revealed that the first investigation, carried out by the Charity Commission for England and Wales, had cleared Nottingham Castle of wrongdoing.
They did, however, issue advice and guidance to the charity trustees in relation to their governance responsibilities, including how to better manage concerns raised by individuals.
It is now understood that the second inquiry, carried out independently into the castle trust's leadership team, has been concluded.
The findings of the investigation are yet to be shared, but are believed to be revealed within the coming days.
In a statement released after the conclusion of the first investigation, a spokesperson for the Nottingham Castle Trust said they had accepted the Charity Commission's advice.
They added: “Detail on the improvements that have already been made, as well as changes that are planned, will be announced by the Trust’s leadership team in the coming days."
