Thank you for your email of 30 September 2022 requesting information regarding the
teaching of conformity bias at Marlborough Girls’ College.
Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
We have made enquiries with the relevant Business Units and determined that the
information requested is not held by the Ministry but is believed to be held by Marlborough
Girls’ College.
In our view, it would have been necessary under section 14(b)(i) of the Act to
transfer your request to the College. However, we are aware that you have already made
your request to the College on 6 October 2022, and therefore we have not transferred it.
You may expect a response from the College directly concerning your request.
Thank you again for your email. You have the right to ask an Ombudsman to review this
decision. You can do this by writing to [email address] or Office of the
Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.
Nāku noa, nā
