Thank you for your email below to the Ministry of Education (the Ministry)
requesting the following information:

 

Copies of all documents leading to the appointment of a Limited Statutory
Manager at Halswell and Westbridge Residential Specialist Schools.

 

Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982
(the Act).

 

Your request, as currently worded, is very broad in nature and scope and
lacks due particularity. As such, it is likely that your request, as it
currently stands, would be refused under section 18(f) of the Act, as the
information requested cannot be made available without substantial
collation or research.

 

In the hope that we may be able to avoid refusing your request, we would
be grateful if you could provide further detail around the nature of the
information you are looking for, including clarifying what you mean by
“leading to the appointment”, the type of documentation you are seeking,
and a timeframe.

 

We look forward to hearing from you. Once we have your clarification, we
will commence work on your request. Please note that, in line with section
15(1AA) of the Act, if a request is amended or clarified after the date on
which it is received, the Ministry may treat the amended or clarified
request as a new request that replaces the original request.
