New Zealand Attorney-General Judith Collins warns institutions about legal obligation to preserve records related to vulnerable individuals' safety and wellbeing.
New Zealand's Attorney-General Judith Collins has warned state and faith-based institutions of their legal obligation to preserve records related to the safety and wellbeing of those in their care. This reminder follows the Abuse in Care Inquiry's report, which found instances where records of vulnerable individuals were not created, lost, or destroyed, often with the intent to protect the organization. Destroying such documents could potentially lead to prosecution, as the laws are in place to protect vulnerable individuals.
