Answer

I am advised Corrections has interpreted ‘senior staff’ as General Managers, Deputy General Managers, and Deputy General Managers Site Pathways. We have interpreted this question as being complaints by staff against senior staff. There are no recorded instances of complaints alleging bullying or intimidation by senior staff at Rimutaka Prison, Christchurch Men's Prison, or Auckland Prison during the period.
