I forgot to pose one of my key questions, which concerns the interpersonal issue and other procedures. If somebody has had an interpersonal conflict and is engaged in a different procedure in that regard, it may curtail the person in being able to separately make a protected disclosure or vice versa. I just wanted to address a position where people may wish to pursue a route through human resources relating to an interpersonal conflict but may also, separately, want to make a protected disclosure. Are we confident the Bill does not create a position where people might feel they have to choose which course to take?
