You have strong, credible evidence, that an employee is breaching subject confidentiality by accessing information on a subject and passing it on. Breach of confidentiality, DPA/GDPR, professional duties, and a likely CMA criminal offence.
Subject is aware but does not want to pursue a complaint - fears the consequences and there are safeguarding issues.
Do you simply do nothing - other than trying to persuade / support the subject? If so how would you defend yourself if the employee does something similar in the future and it turns out you took no action to prevent further abuses?
