Tēnā koe Mr Jones
Thank you for your email of 27 May 2021 to Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for
Children (Oranga Tamariki), requesting the following information under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):
Can I please have the diaries or details of meetings, events or activities
held off-site for all your tier 1 and 2 officials on each Friday in December
2020. This should exclude if the official was on annual, sick or other
approved leave that day, and they did not partake in any meetings, events
or activities that involved other staff or Departmental/Ministry resources on
that leave day.
Details can be as brief as the subject, date, time, and location.
On 13 June 2021 you confirmed you are only asking for details of meetings and
events held offsite, and do not require other details from the officials’ diaries.
Please see the table below:
