Review of policies and procedures for Ministerial offices

About the Review

The Hon Pru Goward reviewed the process for Ministerial staff to:

• make a complaint, and
• best practice procedures for receiving and handling complaints about bullying, harassment, and sexual misconduct.

The Review has also considered the circumstances for investigating allegations of bullying, harassment, or sexual misconduct which may also constitute criminal conduct. 

The Review found that the protections and processes available to Ministerial staff are unclear, ineffective and inadequate.
