The request was successful.
From: Ashley
Dear Ministry of Justice,
Please supply the following information under the [Official Information Act (OIA)
Copies of the Ministry's policies, procedures, and processes regarding the use of teams by staff members, including requests to access teams chats by managers.
How many requests for access to staff members' teams chats have been made by managers and/or people leaders in the past 12 months? What justifications or reasons are required when lodging a request to access staff members' teams records? Are the staff members advised when these requests are lodged as part of the process? Is privacy a factor considered when deciding whether to grant access?
I understand that a decision on a request for information under the OIA should be made within 20 working days of receiving that request.
If you do not normally deal with official information requests, or you need advice on dealing with this request, guidance is available from the Ombudsman at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz
Yours faithfully,
Ashley
