Youth Justice policy team
Letty Smith made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Letty Smith to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Letty Smith
Dear Ministry of Justice,
I have recently seen that you are recruiting for a senior policy role. I was curious to see the name changes of the teams involved in that area, in particular the change from victims policy team to victims and youth justice team.
Given this, I would like to know:
- when did this name change occur?
- when was it decided that Ministry of Justice would have responsibility for youth justice?
- what communications occurred with the Oranga Tamariki, Corrections and / or Public Services Commission in relation to this change?
- why are you recruiting into this area when there are still restructures (and associated redundancies) happening in other justice sector agencies, in particular those with responsibility for youth justice?
- why is the closing date for this advertised position so early in light of those restructures and redundancies?
- why was consideration not given to lifting and shifting staff from other justice sector agencies with responsibility for youth justice as opposed to open recruitment?
Yours faithfully,
LC Smith
