CP violation in charm has not yet been observed; it is expected to be small in the Standard Model but can be enhanced in many models of new physics. We present new results of searches for time-integrated CPV in charm decays at LHCb, using the 38/pb of data collected in 2010. We construct observables that are sensitive to direct CP violation in 2- and 3-body decays but insensitive to production and detector effects. A measurement of the wrong-sign D0 -> K+ pi- decay rate will also be presented. Finally, prospects for the present run will be discussed in these and other areas of charm physics.
