The father of Chloe Moffat, a 26-year-old Treasury worker who died by suicide in May 2025, says the department failed in its duty of care. She died on 20 May 2025, a day after she met with senior staff following concerns raised through an anonymous complaint. According to reporting, she was told allegations that she had shared sensitive confidential information about colleagues, which she denied.
The BBC reports that Moffat’s father argues the Treasury did not provide adequate safeguarding. The Daily Mail describes the meeting as part of a process triggered by an anonymous allegation and says the lack of safeguarding “beggars belief.” Both outlets attribute the criticism to her father, while the accounts focus mainly on the claim that departmental handling and protections were insufficient. None of the provided summaries include statements from the Treasury in response, or detail any findings from an investigation.
