The Ministry of Education Sensitive Claims team (MoE Sensitive Claims) can help you:
If you also want to claim redress from the Ministry of Health, Oranga Tamariki or the Ministry of Social Development, you can ask MoE Sensitive Claims to share your claim form with those government agencies on your behalf. This means you only have to complete one claim form.
After your claim is confirmed to be eligible for the sensitive claims process, you can get support through the State redress service’s wellbeing support service.
If you are in prison, you can receive the counselling sessions if you already have a counsellor you want to work with, or if the prison is supporting you to find a suitable counsellor. The other types of support may not be available to you.
The wellbeing support service includes:
We also have suggestions for other support options if you want to make a claim.
If you are Deaf or hearing-impaired, the Ministry of Education can arrange for your preferred sign language interpreter to support you through the claims process, or to communicate with you through NZ Relayopen_in_new.
The Ministry of Education should support you in a way that is respectful of your culture and values.
You can let them know what this means for you. For example, you could ask them to take a tikanga Māori approach when working with you or ask for a Māori or Pasifika member of staff to be assigned to you.
