Executive Director for Children's Services
Kingston upon Thames Council recently addressed a code of conduct breach involving a councillor and the Executive Director for Children's Services.
Councillor Kamala Kugan apologised in October 2025 for breaching the Members Code of Conduct at Kingston upon Thames Council. This followed a Standards Sub-committee finding in September 2025 that she failed to show respect to officers and breached confidentiality in emails. The complaint was made by the Executive Director for Children's Services and the Chief Executive.
The Executive Director for Children's Services is a senior role responsible for children's services within Kingston upon Thames Council. The complaint, made in July 2024, concerned emails sent by Councillor Kugan during April and May 2024 regarding a family whose children are in council care.
