Oxfam chief forced to step down over 'serious issues' with conduct, charity says

Oxfam chief, Dr. Halima Begum, steps down due to 'serious issues' with conduct, following an independent review by legal firm Howlett Brown. The review found breaches of processes and values, as well as inappropriate interference in safeguarding and integrity investigations. Oxfam's board of trustees deemed her position as CEO "untenable" due to an "irretrievable breakdown in trust." A new acting chief executive, Jan Oldfield, has been appointed as Oxfam aims to provide stability and rebuild confidence within the organization.
