Mr. Robert Watt:
If one is saying to somebody, "That's shoddy work or not as good as it should be", that would not be a protected disclosure because there should be no circumstances where somebody should not be able to put their hand up and say, "We can do better there." So it should be much more serious than that. If it was a serious allegation about misappropriation of funds, breach of ethics, or some harassment or bullying situation, if it involved lots of people within the Department, then it would have to go outside the Department. Generally we find these are situations that are confined to one individual with particular circumstances.
