Vaccine Mandates at Treaty Settlements office

Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to Office of Treaty Settlements and Takutai Moana—Te Tari Whakatau

The request was successful.

From: Erika Whittome

Dear Office of Treaty Settlements and Takutai Moana—Te Tari Whakatau,
I understand the government vaccination mandates were dropped sometime around Sept 2022 with the revoking of certain Covid19 orders by the state.

1. What number of staff did your office terminate or place on any form of " extended leave" due to vaccination mandates in 2021/2022?
2. When did you initiate and then remove your policy for only employing vaccinated staff?
3. Would you please kindly share the emails and correspondence regarding this decision to initiate and then remove this policy for only hiring vaccinated staff?
4. Please share a copy of the policy in its draft and final form
5. Please share the workplace risk assessment for the Covid-19 disease

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
