Subject: Official Information request - Policy and Training regarding
LGBTIQ+, Takatāpui, queer people

 

Tēnā koutou,

I am interested in looking at Crown Law policy regarding gender diverse
and/or sexually diverse people appearing in the criminal District Courts
and any training Crown Law has conducted regarding staff interactions with
gender diverse and/or sexually diverse people.

Please release the following information:

1.            All Crown Law policies relating to gender diverse and/or
sexually diverse (LGBTIQ+, Takatāpui, queer) people appearing as
defendants, witnesses and/or complainants in Crown prosecuted criminal
court cases.

2.            All Crown Law training policies relating to staff
interactions (including examination and cross-examination) with gender
diverse and sexually diverse (LGBTIQ+, Takatāpui, queer) people.

3.            All documents identified in relation to question 2.

Please also explain any relevant caveats that should be kept in mind when
analysing this information.

Please provide this information in an accessible, searchable format such
as PDF If any part of my request is unclear, please don't hesitate to
contact me.

If any of the information that I have requested is unavailable or would be
difficult to retrieve, but similar information might be readily available,
I would be happy to discuss altering or refining my request.

As a New Zealand citizen, I am eligible to make requests under the OIA.

Ngā mihi,
