Decisions coming out of an FGC

Leah Trass made this Official Information request to Ministry of Social Development

The request was successful.

From: Leah Trass

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

Under the OIA ACT, I wish to understand why there are different rules around some FGCs.

Question one: Those attending SOME FGCs are told they are not to take notes, take information off the whiteboard, take photos of the whiteboard, while others are given a print out, allowed to remove notes, given notes to remove. Can you explain why there is this anomaly please?

Question 2: Many reports from FGCs are not a true and proper copy of what is on the whiteboard which the family have agreed to. There is no discussion in regard to those points that come out on the report and have not been discussed or agreed to by the family. Can you please explain how it is that these family members come to an agreement in regard to the safety and well being of the child and yet without further discussion with CYFS their agreement is changed to reflect something quite different?

Yours faithfully,

Leigh Bailllie
