The NSPCC has offered the trans activist Munroe Bergdorf a “full, frank and unreserved apology” for abruptly cutting ties with her in the face of social media criticism of her appointment. In a statement on Wednesday, the NSPCC’s CEO, Peter Wanless, apologised for any hurt the charity had caused. “I want to acknowledge first and foremost that we shouldn’t have cut ties with Munroe Bergdorf in the way we did,” he said. “I appreciate the formal apology, NSPCC,” she said. In his apology, Wanless said the charity had failed to speak to Bergdorf before making the announcement it were cutting ties on Friday.
