disciplinary hearing

[sixlostmonkeys]

I have been advised to re-post this here.
Although my question doesn't relate to employment (it is a hearing regrading a sporting coach and a child), I think maybe the same rules could apply to a hearing.

My original question was:

At a disciplinary hearing - if a witness, during his testamony, (unwittingly) reveals information that he himself should be investigated at a hearing, can this testamony be used at a further hearing? Or is he immune?

If it's not an employment situation then employment law wouldn't apply.

Whether testimony someone gives in one hearing can be used against them would probably depend on the rules/guidelines of whatever body/entity is conducting the hearing, plus whether what the person is disclosing relates to a criminal offence.
