There is an important obligation under section 16 of the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 to protect the identity of individuals who make disclosures of information with reference to the Act.

In this instance, I can however confirm that I recently received a copy of a submission made with reference to the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 to the Chief Executive of a local authority, who is the disclosure recipient. 

An acknowledgement, which set out my Department's position, issued on 11 May 2017.
