皇冠体育app

皇冠体育app Charity regulator for England and Wales has opened an inquiry into the Al-Manar Centre Trust following serious concerns about a video post on the charity鈥檚 Facebook page.

皇冠体育app was established in 2009 to advance and support Islamic education, strengthen community relationships and religious harmony in Cardiff, and to educate the public about the Islamic faith.

皇冠体育app video was posted on the charity鈥檚 Facebook account in November 2023 and has raised concerns around the charity鈥檚 social media controls. 皇冠体育app video, which was not created by the charity but posted on one of its social media channels, could suggest support for Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation.

As regulator, the Commission expects trustees to do all in their power to protect their charities from risk of misuse, which includes implementing procedures to prevent the promotion of views which could be considered harmful or unlawful.

Following the Commission鈥檚 intervention, the charity鈥檚 trustees have removed the video and taken steps to improve their social media protocols.

皇冠体育app inquiry will examine the trustees鈥� administration, management, and governance of the charity. As part of inquiry鈥檚 scope, the regulator will fully investigate the events leading to the posting of the video.

皇冠体育app regulator will also be seeking assurances that improvements made to the charity鈥檚 social media protocols are being implemented and that these are sufficiently robust to prevent this from happening again. This includes a review to confirm that there is no other inappropriate material on any platform used by the charity.

皇冠体育app regulator may extend the scope of the inquiry if additional regulatory issues emerge.

It is the Commission鈥檚 policy, after it has concluded an inquiry, to publish a report detailing the issues examined, any action taken, and the inquiry鈥檚 outcomes.
