Charity Commission accused of ‘whitewash’ in conclusion on dementia charity’s use of NDAs
The charity watchdog is embroiled in a row with ex-employees of the Alzheimer’s Society after clearing it of wrongdoing, following claims in a Guardian investigation over payouts to workers who signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
The Charity Commission said it found no evidence that confidentiality clauses used by the country’s biggest dementia charity were designed to prevent, or had the effect of preventing, staff blowing the whistle about bullying, harassment or discrimination.
