Dad of woman who took her own life says Treasury failed in its duty of care
Chloe Moffat died last year, after she was told of allegations she had shared sensitive confidential information about colleagues, which she denied.
David Moffat, the father of Chloe Moffat, a civil service employee who tragically took her own life on 20 May 2025, has alleged that the Treasury failed in its duty of care. Chloe, a personal assistant to a Treasury director, died after a meeting with her managers where allegations were made against her regarding sharing sensitive confidential information.
David claims that the Treasury did not demonstrate any duty of care, providing no safeguarding or support during or after the meeting. The Treasury has acknowledged the tragedy and pledged to learn from it, implementing immediate changes to their guidance, support, and wellbeing arrangements. However, David and his wife, Anne, remain uncertain about pursuing further legal action against the Treasury, but they emphasize the importance of learning lessons from this devastating loss.
