Whistleblower tribunal | HR Director took 'no action' over sexual harassment claims

The HR Director at Sellafield nuclear site took “no action” following allegations of sexual harassment, an employment tribunal has been told.

The allegations come from HR consultant Alison McDermott – who commanded a £1,500-a-day fee for working on the nuclear site’s equality, diversity and inclusion remit – who added that reports of bullying, harassment and homophobic abuse were not properly investigated at the Cumbrian site.

Whistleblower termination

McDermott alleges that she had her contract terminated for whistleblowing in 2018, adding that she was told by HR Director Heather Roberts that there was no need for an external investigation into her reports of bullying et al.
