207ZM: Information disclosed to chief executive by interstate officer

You could also call this:

"When someone from another country shares info with the boss about child welfare"

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If an interstate officer shares information with the chief executive, this section applies. The information is shared under a law about child welfare or a similar law that is like section 207ZL. You think of this information as being given straight to the chief executive in New Zealand, not to the interstate officer.

This information is used for the purposes of the Oranga Tamariki Act. There is another section, section 207ZN, that affects how this section works.

You need to consider this section when the interstate officer shares information with the chief executive.
