The Presbyterian Church of Ireland (PCI) has voted to continue using non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), in “limited circumstances”, despite calls for the practice to be abandoned.
NDAs are confidentiality clauses preventing a party (usually a former employee) from disclosing sensitive and confidential information.
In June, the PCI’s General Assembly in Belfast voted to approve a draft policy on employee compromise agreements and NDAs. This draft policy was contained in a report of a task group set up to look at the use of employees’ compromise agreements and NDAs.
