Dear Leigh
 
I am unsure what happened with regard to our reply so have set a delivered
and read notification on this email to make sure that we know if it
doesn't get through.  If you could acknowledge you have received this it
would be appreciated as we have no other contact details other than this
email address.
As we advised in our previous response the information you require is
available to the public via our Annual Reports which are published on our
website: [1]http://www.swrb.govt.nz/news-and-publica...
 
The number of complaints received as noted in our Annual Reports is as
follows:
 

06/07 07/08 08/09 09/10 10/11 11/12 2012 to date
1 4 6 14 22 25 29

 
The Social Workers Registration Board does not have 'branches' so we are
unable to provide the information you seek.  The professional association
for social workers, the ANZASW, does have branches and you may want to
contact them for the information on complaints they receive about members
of their branches.  They can be contacted via [2]www.anzasw.org.nz
 
Regards
 
Sean

Social Workers PA
 
     Dear Social Workers Registration Board,
 
     I refer you to my OIA request:
 
     May 30, 2013
 
     Dear Social Workers Registration Board,
 
     How many complaints regarding social workers do you receive each
     year?
 
     In the last 12 months, which branches were the social workers
     attached to?
 
     This request is made under the Official Information Act 1982 - the
     21 working days are well up, please advise what is happening
     regarding my request.
 
     Yours faithfully,
 
     Leigh Bailllie
