Whistle-blowing – ‘Allegation’ and ‘Information’ are not alternative concepts and suspension was an ongoing detriment
The recent case of Kilraine v London Borough of Wandsworth has demonstrated that when assessing if there has been a disclosure of information, for whistle-blowing purposes, ‘information’ and ‘allegations’ are often intertwined and Tribunals should not fall into the trap of treating disclosures as either one or the other. Further, suspending an employee will constitute a continuing detriment and not just one that takes place at the point of suspension.
