FOI request
Please consider this a request for documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).
I am seeking access to the following documents:
- Current (i.e. active and endorsed) gender affirmation policies for your department/agency’s staff (i.e. policies outlining the process by which transgender or non-binary staff can affirm their chosen gender identity at work);
- Current (i.e. active and endorsed) gender affirmation leave policies for your department/agency’s staff (i.e. policies establishing the process and types of leave which transgender or non-binary staff can access for transition related purposes).
- If active and endorsed policies for items 1 and/or 2 do not exist, I am requesting any draft policies your department/agency is working on.
To avoid any doubt, I am not seeking access to the EAs, I am asking for connected HR policies:
For example: a policy setting out how miscellaneous or ‘other’ leave under the Enterprise Agreement (EA) may be applied for by staff seeking to affirm their gender in the workplace would be in scope.
I am happy to receive these documents under an administrative access scheme or similar. If you choose to provide the documents in this manner, I agree to identifying details of non-SES staff (names, phone numbers, email addresses…etc.) being redacted. I also agree to withdraw this FOI request on receipt of the documents.
