ComVoices issues paper, November 2016

"This Issues Paper has been developed to summarise the key issues for the community sector as the basis for engagement with MSD and, potentially, other government agencies. We are aiming to reach an agreed data collection system that meets MSD’s needs for information, is ethically appropriate for the service users, complies with Privacy Act considerations and is practical, transparent and mitigates risk exposure for MSD and service providers."

"Update 21 November: This Issues Paper was provided to MSD on 11 November. MSD has responded positively to the invitation to engage on the issues set out here and a joint working group is now being set up between MSD, the ComVoices group that drafted this paper, and the NGO Advisory Group that has also been in discussion with MSD on this subject." (From the paper). ComVoices subsequently sent "A proposal to built a robust evidence based learning system for social investment" (Issues paper 2, March 2017) to the Ministry of Development. The Privacy Commissioner completed an inquiry into the collection of ICLD in 2017 (#5383). Record #5345
