Thank you for your email of 12 July 2021, requesting information about Corrections’ 
Countering Violent Extremism programmes. Your request has been considered 
under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). 
 
You have requested: 
 
Please provide all documents held by Corrections about Corrections’ 
Countering Violent Extremism programmes. 
 
Corrections does not have any Countering Violent Extremism programmes. Your 
request is therefore declined under section 18(e) of the OIA as the information 
requested does not exist.  
 
If you wish to provide more detail on the information you are looking for, please feel 
free to email us at [Department of Corrections request email] and we will endeavour to assist you. 
 
I trust the information provided is of assistance. Should you have any concerns with 
this response, I would encourage you to raise them with Corrections. Alternatively, 
you are advised of your right to also raise any concerns with the Office of the 
Ombudsman. Contact details are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, 
Wellington 6143.
