OFFICE OF THE

• All people engaged in child related employment to hold a
clearance notice
• Advice on identifying the positions and employees who
may be engaged in child related employment was
circulated some months ago. Contact Lisa Hill in OCPE
for details
• SafeNT is responsible for clearance notices
• Clearance notices required from September 2010
• SafeNT processing applications from February 2010
• Communication campaign in March 2010
• Issues still around payment and record keeping.

PUBLIC INTEREST
DISCLOSURE ACT
(WHISTLEBLOWERS)
Investigations under PSEMA
OFFICE OF THE
COMMISSIONER FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT
• PIDA covers matters that would usually be investigated
under the discipline provisions of PSEMA
• Legal advice sought to clarify how this is resolved.
Advice:
• Not every communication to a CEO revealing ‘improper
conduct’ is a ‘disclosure’
• Has to be either made in express reliance upon the PIDA
or, if it is plain that the person is acting in the capacity of
a “whistleblower” as term generally understood
Intersection of PIDA and PSEMA and
Disclosure of Confidential Information
Disclosure made under the
Public Interest Disclosures Act
Commissioner for Public
Interest Disclosures
(CPID)
CPID investigates
under PIDA
CPID refers the matter
to the CPE under
s22 of PIDA
Commissioner for Public
Employment (CPE)
Additional function under s14 of
PSEMA
CPE may investigate using powers
under s13(p) and s15 of PSEMA
OR pass on to Agency CE
S13(p) of PSEMA allows for the
imposition of functions on the CPE.
S14(1) of PSEMA allows the
Commissioner to do all things
necessary or convenient to be done
for or in connection with or
incidental to the performance of his
or her functions and the exercising
of his or her powers.
S15 provides for special powers of
the CPE.
The CPID may seek the assistance
of staff from the relevant Agency to
assist in the investigation.
The matter remains a Public
Interest Disclosure.
The CPID may authorise the
disclosure of confidential information
in order to facilitate the investigation
of a public interest disclosure. S/he
may only authorise the disclosure of
“identifying information” if it is
relevant and necessary for effective
investigation.
This should be considered on a case
by case basis and be subject to
discussion between the CPID, CPE
and the responsible CE.
Agency Chief Executive
The matter ceases to be
investigated under PIDA
(although the discloser retains the
protections of PIDA)
CE investigates
under Part 8
of PSEMA
Part 8 of PSEMA provides for Chief
Executive action where a breach of
discipline is suspected.
** This flowchart shows the pathway of addressing a PIDA disclosure in the event that the CPID considers a disclosure, after
consultation with the CPE and relevant CE, is properly dealt with under PSEMA.
