New "developing an OIA information search policy" factsheet

We're pleased to announce the release of a new factsheet to help organisations meet their obligations under the Official Information Act 1982 when processing requests for information.

Organisations can use this factsheet to develop an information search policy or best practice guidance for staff on how to determine whether they hold the information that has been requested.

Guidance specific to the Privacy Act 2020 will be developed separately.

How to develop an OIA information search policy is available here
