Bosses at a sexual abuse charity have been lambasted by an employment judge after a former CEO was forced out of her job. Senior board members and current chief executives of Break the Silence were labelled evasive, disingenuous and “not credible” after giving evidence in the tribunal of Alison Tait, who has been awarded more than £17,000 for constructive dismissal. Ms Tait resigned after being told unexpectedly that she would have to share her CEO role with another employee and that she was being investigated over a string of “vague” allegations. Employment judge Peter O’Donnell criticised the charity’s handling of the situation, saying “this was a case of [Break the Silence] seeking to find as much as they could to criticise the claimant whether there was grounds to do so or not”.
