INTERNAL REVIEW TOPICS

Sexual Behaviour in Children/Students

• Updated the language in the primary and composite versions of this topic to better reflect best practice when managing inappropriate language and/or behaviour.

Investigation of Bribery, Corruption, Fraud, and Theft

• A new topic as a result of auditors' advice. It is modelled on the Ministry's Kiwi Park School Theft and Fraud Prevention Policy.

Trespasser on School Grounds

• Added the following statement as a result of an Ombudsman decision earlier in 2021, which found that a school should have given a person the right to respond to being trespassed: "If the trespass notice is for a parent/guardian of a currently enrolled student they must be given an opportunity to respond before the trespass notice is issued."

Fundraising

• Some schools had contact details for their school's fundraising group in this topic. We have removed specific details such as names and phone numbers.
