Dear George
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act, received on 17
July 2025. You requested:
How many reports and complaints have been made about staff engaging in
bullying and/or inappropriate behaviour in the last 12 months? This should
include ELT and their respective business units.
How many ex-gratia payments have been made to staff in the last 12 months?
This should include ELT and their respective business units.
How many staff have been spoken to in relation to their behaviour? This should
include ELT and their respective business units.
I have decided under section 15A of the Official Information Act to extend the time limit
for deciding on your request by an additional 15 working days. The new due date for
responding to your request is 4 September 2025.
The extension is required because of the consultations needed to make a decision on
your request.
This extension will also apply to the time limit for transferring your request, should this
become relevant.
Notwithstanding this extension, I undertake to decide on your request as soon as
reasonably practicable.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review this decision.
Yours sincerely
Hamish Ongley
