Mermaids accused of ‘complete safeguarding failures’ by Miriam Cates
The Charity Commission’s investigation into transgender charity Mermaids has been branded a “whitewash” by former Conservative MP Miriam Cates, after the watchdog found the organisation had been “mismanaged”.
Following a two-year investigation, the Commission concluded that the charity “must ensure parents are informed if it provides chest binders to children in future” and “be clearer about puberty blocker risks” after receiving multiple complaints from concerned parents.
