Subject: Official Information request - Requests for staff members' teams
records

 

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

 

Please supply the following information under the [Official Information
Act (OIA)

 

Copies of the Ministry's policies, procedures, and processes regarding the
use of teams by staff members, including requests to access teams chats by
managers.

 

How many requests for access to staff members' teams chats have been made
by managers and/or people leaders in the past 12 months? What
justifications or reasons are required when lodging a request to access
staff members' teams records? Are the staff members advised when these
requests are lodged as part of the process? Is privacy a factor considered
when deciding whether to grant access?

 

I understand that a decision on a request for information under the OIA
should be made within 20 working days of receiving that request.

 

If you do not normally deal with official information requests, or you
need advice on dealing with this request, guidance is available from the
Ombudsman at

Yours faithfully,

Ashley
