Answer

For Ministry of Disabled People - Whaikaha - For the New Zealand Sign Language Board, no members were subject to a conflict-of-interest management plan during the period covered by the question. The Board has a robust conflict of interest policy and process in place. Members are expected to identify and declare interests, and any conflicts are managed as they arise through the Board’s established governance processes. Members of the Board are appointed from the New Zealand Sign Language community through a transparent appointment process. For Disability Support Services, I refer the Member to reply number 28050 (2026)
