Kids' home run by Kate charity shut down over harm risks

A CHILDREN'S home run by a charity supported by the Princess of Wales has been deemed unsafe.

Care at the site for kids with learning disabilities has been suspended after a damning report by an inspector.

Ofsted said "serious child protection allegations were being investigated" and accused staff of not knowing how to safeguard children. The facility is operated by Action for Children, which runs 14 children's homes in England and has Kate as a patron.
