A church charity worker who claimed she was sacked for whistleblowing about a married priest having a relationship with a “vulnerable” member of his congregation has won £8000 in compensation.
Caroline Marsland was unhappy that the clergyman was allowed to return to work after it was alleged he had a relationship with the woman, an employment tribunal heard.
The alleged behaviour of the priest – identified in tribunal documents only as DE – emerged after the unnamed woman’s partner complained to the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway, a hearing was told.
