The Metropolitan Police investigation into allegations at abuse at Kids Company has closed after it found no evidence of any criminal behaviour.

In a statement released yesterday, police said that the investigation they launched in July 2015 into allegations of physical and sexual abuse made by a journalist against “children and staff” at the charity has closed without any findings of criminal wrong doing.

The Met said that officers from its Serious Complex Case Team of the Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command “identified 32 pieces of information or intelligence relating to a period between 2008 and 2015”.

The police said that the majority of “third party” allegations were “vague in detail” but warranted investigating none the less.

Despite carrying out “extensive inquiries” the statement said that the Met “identified no evidence of criminality within the 32 reports” of abuse, “nor have we identified any failings by the charity in respect of them carrying out their duty to safeguard children or vulnerable adults”.

Police also cofirmed that nobody was arrested or interview under caution in connection with the investigation.

Police announced that they were investigating allegations of abuse into the charity shortly before Kids Company announced that it was to close. At the time, Camila Batmanghelidjh, founder and chief executive of Kids Company, said that the police’s announcement of the investigation had seen a philanthropist withdraw a £3m donation.

The Met also said that it would not be investigating allegations of fraud at the charity.
