Can you please clarify if your request regarding NZSL relates to NZSL translation for video and/or NZSL live interpreting?

My sense is that your request is around translating information into NZSL on video (alternative format to be shared), and not around live interpreting (for Zoom hui etc).

Would be helpful if you could please clarify.

Thank you for clarifying Nic, that is helpful to know.

So we are providing you with relevant information, are invoices, quotes and documents shared between Creative New Zealand and the Ministry of Social Development and other providers also in scope for your request?

Or, are you more interested in understanding what Creative New Zealand documents have been requested in alternative formats?

Interested in email communications between agencies to show that Creative
NZ attempted to acquire Alternative Format’s that have been requested -
specific one that is of interest to me is the Funding Agreement, so we
could start there?
But keen to see all of it as the flat denial of these documents suggest a
wider systemic problem.
