Tribunal | Whistleblower alleges HRD 'sat on' sexual harassment claims

An employment tribunal has heard that an HR Director at Sellafield allegedly “sat on” reports of sexual harassment by a worker - the BBC reports.

Consultant Alison McDermott, who runs the company Interim Diversity Limited, claimed that her contract was ended after she blew the whistle on work harassment at the site in Seascale, Cumbria in 2018.

She has made claims against nuclear site Sellafield, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and the HR Director Heather Roberts.

She claimed that her work came to an end when she produced a report on the HR function.
