BBC Children in Need chair resigns with angry broadside at chief executive | MSN

The chair of the BBC’s Children in Need charity has resigned over grants given to a charity hit by child abuse scandals.

Rosie Millard, 59, told the board of the charity she was resigning over “institutional failure”, and accused chief executive, Simon Antrobus, of failing to take controversy around the grants seriously.

It comes after Children in Need gave £466,000 to LGBT Youth Scotland, with the grants starting seven months after its former chief executive, James Rennie, was convicted in 2009 of child sex attacks.

Another employee affiliated with the LGBT Youth Scotland (LGBTYS) was also convicted this year of sharing indecent images of children, including some of newborn babies.
