Description
An anonymous complaint alleged a specific instance of serious misconduct by a senior public officer and other inappropriate behaviour. The matter had been reported to a Head of Agency, yet no action had been taken.
Our investigation found that the misconduct had occurred but that in all circumstances, the matter had been handled appropriately. We found that the organisation’s records relating to both the reports of and response to the person’s behaviour were inadequate.
