An inquest revealed that the Treasury's failure to follow its disciplinary policy contributed to the death of Chloe Moffat, who died by suicide shortly after a meeting regarding allegations against her. The coroner noted that the lack of clarity on potential penalties left Moffat feeling uncertain about her job security.

The Treasury has expressed its condolences and is reviewing the findings. Moffat's family hopes the coroner's recommendations will lead to significant changes in how disciplinary processes are managed and employee welfare is prioritized within the organization.
