Chloe Moffat, a civil servant, died by suicide last year shortly after being informed of allegations that she had shared sensitive, confidential information regarding her colleagues. Moffat had consistently denied these claims throughout the internal investigation process conducted by the Treasury.

Following her death, her father has publicly criticized the Treasury, arguing that the department failed in its fundamental duty of care toward his daughter. He contends that the handling of the investigation contributed to the circumstances leading to her death. The Treasury has acknowledged the tragedy but has not provided specific details regarding the internal protocols followed during the investigation into Moffat. The case has raised questions about how government departments manage staff welfare during disciplinary or investigative procedures, particularly when employees are facing serious allegations that could impact their professional standing and mental health.
