Security Guards

David Nicholas made this Official Information request to Ministry of Social Development

The request was successful.

From: David Nicholas

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

How many security staff are employed by this agency?

Do they have to be registered and qualified as per the Private Security Personnel and Private Investigators Act?

Do security personnel have to have a reasonable level of fitness like the NZ Police have to have?

What are the security staff paid? What Key Performance Indicators(KPI)do security staff have in their contracts?

What training to case workers and front line MSD staff have to enable them to diffuse potentially difficult situations with clients? What ongoing professional development do staff undertake in how to handle difficult clients?

Are micro counselling or restorative justice practises techniques taught to staff?

How many assaults and threats have been made to staff in the past 5 years shown by each office?

Yours faithfully,

David Nicholas
