In accordance with Section 22 of the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, my Department has published information on protected disclosures received during 2018, 2019 and 2020 online at:

In summary, in 2018, 3 protected disclosures were received from workers in the Education sector. In 2019, 1 protected disclosure was received from workers in the Education sector. In 2020, 2 protected disclosures were received from workers in the Education sector.

There were no protected disclosures received from Department staff since the legislation was introduced.

The information in respect of state bodies, within the scope of the Deputy’s question, is not held by my Department. Contact details for these bodies are set out in the attached document, should the Deputy wish to contact the aegis bodies directly with her query.
