This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Emily O'Callaghan to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Emily O'Callaghan

Dear Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children,

Child, Youth and Family (predecessor to Oranga Tamariki) commissioned an independent consultant’s report on grievance procedures for children and young persons in the Department’s residences. The report was authored by Antoinette Hindle. The Hindle Report was released in July 2004.

The report is referred to (and excerpts provided) in an archived Youth Court newsletter on the District Court's website: https://www.districtcourts.govt.nz/asset...

Under the Official Information Act 1982, I request the following:
1. A copy of the Hindle Report (2004) on Grievance Processes in CYFS residences by Antoinette Hindle.
2. An outline of what steps were taken by CYFS following the release of the report to improve, streamline or modify grievance processes withing CYFS residences for children and young people.
3. Any official policy documents relating to the grievance procedures released in response to the independent report.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,

Emily O'Callaghan
