Since 1 January 2024, how many, if any, staff complaints from each of Rimutaka Prison, Auckland Prison, and Christchurch Men’s Prison have been referred to the Office of the Inspectorate, and how many, if any, were upheld, partially upheld, or not upheld?

Answer

I am advised that the Office of the Inspectorate is not part of the employee complaints process. Should the Office of the Inspectorate receive a complaint from a staff member about another staff member, they would refer the complaint back to the Department. As such there were no complaints referred to the Office of Inspectorate. Note that we have interpreted this question as being complaints by staff against other staff.
