Kia ora Nic
We are needing some clarification around the request you sent to us below.
I have highlighted what we need to clarify.
Were you meaning applications that have been submitted using sign language
(literally)? Please reply so that can determine we have understood your
query.
Are you able to give a breakdown by year/fund of the number of
applications that have been submitted in New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL)
over the last three financial years for funding applications within the
Community Organisation Grants Scheme (COGS) and the New Zealand Lottery
Grants Board (excluding funds distributed by Creative New Zealand, Sport
NZ, & New Zealand Film Commission).

Dear Vi Saena,
Yes applications submitted in one of the three official languages of New Zealand, being NZSL.
Wondering if there’s barriers requiring written elements, that may breach someones Rights.
Yours sincerely,
