Whistleblowers....number and amounts paid, source of funds

Wirral Council has responded to the Freedom of Information request below

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your request for information below.

Wirral Council is not aware that they have ever made a payment to an employee, in return for that employee promising not to report to the appropriate authorities any concerns he/she might have, as to alleged illegal behaviour either by the Council or by anyone connected with theCouncil.

If you could clarify for me what you mean by "paid off" please, if the response above has not answered your question.

Kind Regards
Jane Corrin
Information Manager
Wirral Council
