A consultant who says she tried to blow the whistle on reports of bullying and harassment at a nuclear site is seeking to claim £1.17 million, a tribunal has heard. HR consultant Alison McDermott told an employment tribunal her contract with the Sellafield site in Cumbria was terminated in October 2018 after she reported allegations of vile homophobic abuse, sexual harassment and bullying at the site. The tribunal, against Sellafield, its HR director Heather Roberts and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, heard closing submissions on Thursday. Deshpal Panesar QC, representing Sellafield and Ms Roberts, said the contract was terminated because Ms McDermott s work, on equality, diversity and inclusion, was fundamentally flawed .
