Ms Caron McCaffrey:
We had eight disclosures made in 2019, one of which was transferred to the Department of Justice. Seven disclosures were sent for external investigation and three of those have been concluded. One of the investigations was terminated by the investigator as there was insufficient evidence to complete the investigation and three are ongoing. In relation to the three disclosure investigations that have been completed, the disclosures were partially upheld and recommendations were made on foot of those disclosures on policy and procedures within the IPS.
