Dear Erica Stanford,
I am writing to request the number and nature (emails, letters, in person or online meetings, online messages and any other media) of written and verbal communications you have had, in your capacity as Minister of Education, regarding curriculum and assessment in New Zealand, with NZ Science (incl Chemistry, Physics and Biology) and English secondary teacher subject associations or their senior members, over the last 12 months.
Yours faithfully,
Tristan

Erica Stanford
Thank you for contacting the Office of Hon Erica Stanford, Minister of
Education, Minister of Immigration, Lead Coordination Minister for the
Government's Response to the Royal Commission's Report into Historical
Abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions, and
Member of Parliament for East Coast Bays.
While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not always possible to
provide a personal response to every email received.
* If you wish to register to attend the Abuse in Care National apology,
* Phone: 0800 717 017 (8:30am - 4:30pm Monday – Friday)
* Email: [1][email address]
* Registration is from Thursday, 12 September to Monday 30
September.
* If demand for a specific location is more than the space
available, a balloting process will be undertaken. Everyone who
expresses interest in attending an event will be notified by 12
October.
* As many survivors of abuse in care may have never disclosed their
abuse, there will be no verification process undertaken for the
expressions of interest. The system will be operated on a trust
basis. We ask New Zealanders leave attendance at the events for
survivors and their supporters.
* If your message is for Minister Stanford’s advice, expresses a
personal view, or if you have copied your email to another Minister
and/or Member of Parliament with more appropriate portfolio
responsibilities, then this will be noted.
* If you have invited Minister Stanford to an event, then a member of
staff may contact you for more information.
* If you have made a request for official information then this will be
managed in accordance with the provisions of the Official Information
Act 1982, which may include transfer to a more relevant Minister or
agency.
* If you have made a request under the Privacy Act then this will be
managed in accordance with the principles of the Privacy Act 2020,
which may include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
* If you are a journalist then your request will be referred to the
Press Secretary.
* If you are a constituent of East Coast Bays your email will be shared
with the Electorate Office. If you wish to keep up to date on
Electorate News please follow: [2]Erica Stanford (national.org.nz)
* To find out more about Minister Stanford read her [3]biography or
recent [4]statements.

Tçnâ koe Tristan,
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to the Office of Erica Stanford received on 27 September for:
- The number and nature (emails, letters, in person or online meetings, online messages and any other media) of written and verbal communications you have had, in your capacity as Minister of Education, regarding curriculum and assessment in New Zealand, with NZ Science (incl Chemistry, Physics and Biology) and English secondary teacher subject associations or their senior members, over the last 12 months.
We are contacting you in accordance with section 18B of the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
The office of Hon Erica Stanford communicates and meets with secondary teacher subject associations regularly. The information you have requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or research, and as such your request may be refused under section 18(f) of the Act.
We ask that you refine your request to include
- to specific individuals rather than “senior members”,
- to specify which subject associations
- to define what you mean by “nature”.
Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review any decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be contacted by email at: [email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.
Kind regards,
Office of Hon Erica Stanford
Minister of Education

Dear Erica Stanford (MIN),
The subject associations and their abbreviations can be found at https://www.ppta.org.nz/communities/subj... the relevant ones would be:
NZIP
NZIC
BEANZ
NZASE
NZATE
As included in brackets in the original question, by 'nature' I mean whether they are 'emails, letters, in person or online meetings, online messages [or] any other media'. For example, that there were X number of meetings/letters exchanged with Y individual.
I decline to specify individual names. I refer to any individuals who are meeting with the Minister in their capacity as representatives for the above organisations. I think it reasonable to assume that anyone representing these organisations to the Minister of Education is sufficiently senior.
Yours sincerely,
Tristan
From: Erica Stanford (MIN)

Kia ora Tristan,
