Treasury’s Flawed Process Led to Tragedy | UK News

A coroner has ruled that the UK Treasury “materially contributed” to the suicide of 26-year-old personal assistant Chloe Moffat, who died after a botched disciplinary process stripped her of job security and support. Despite having an outstanding record and loving her role, Chloe was left devastated by an informal meeting where she couldn’t bring a support person, had her responsibilities altered, and was misled into believing she was being fired — all while official HR policies require formal procedures for serious allegations. The coroner warns this flawed system endangers lives and plans to send urgent recommendations to the Treasury, Acas, and the civil service chief. Chloe’s mother calls it a tragedy of neglect, saying the allegations were baseless gossip and the Treasury failed its duty of care. The Treasury says it’s deeply saddened and committed to reform, but the coroner insists more must be done to prevent future deaths.
