Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012
The Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012 (the PID Act) encourages and facilitates disclosures of:
- improper conduct by public officers, public bodies and other persons including Council, Council officers and Councillors
- detrimental action taken against a person for making a disclosure under the PID Act.
The PID Act also provides protection for:
- persons who make those disclosures
- person who may suffer detrimental action in reprisal for those disclosures.
The PID Act ensures that those disclosures are properly assessed (and where necessary, investigated), and provides for the confidentiality of the content of those disclosures, and the identity of the persons who make those disclosures.
