Tēnā koe Mr Luke,
Information request – JL231112
Thank you for your email dated 12 November 2023. In your email, you requested:
• “the current members of your Professional Conduct Committees and their term of
appointment and expired date of appointment”; and
• “the Social Workers Registration Board's full board meeting minutes from 1st Jan 2022
to 11th Nov 2023.”
We intend to provide you a fulsome response to your request. However, preparing our
response will require us to review a large quantity of information. Section 15A(1) of the Official
Information Act 1982 allows an organisation to extend its timeframe for responding to an
information request where:
The request is for a large quantity of official information or necessitates a
search through a large quantity of information and meeting the original time
limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of the… organisation.
To avoid unreasonably interfering with the SWRB’s operations, I have decided to extend the
SWRB’s timeframe for responding to your request to
22 December 2023.
Further information
If you have any questions, or wish to discuss the matter further, please contact SWRB’s legal
team by email at
[email address], or by post at Social Workers Registration Board, PO Box
3452, Wellington 6140 (attention Legal Team).
You have the right to seek a review of this decision by the Ombudsman. Information about the
Ombudsman can be found at
