The Workplace Relations Commission found that Siobhán Rogers reported relevant wrongdoings at Wilson’s Hospital School, including concerns about financial controls and data protection. It rejected her claim that the school penalised her for making protected disclosures.

The adjudication officer found Rogers was not demoted after a new manager was appointed over her, as her title, salary and duties remained unchanged. He dismissed the penalisation claim, finding she had not demonstrated that she suffered a detriment.
