Illustration for Children’s Commissioner Act 2022

When information rules are made under section 31, they must include rules about several things. You need to know what these rules cover, such as collecting information under section 27, and how information is collected.

The rules must also cover how information is used, stored, and disposed of, like how it is kept separate from other information held by the Commissioner.

The rules must include details about keeping information accurate and complete, and how the Commissioner discloses information, as well as procedures for exchanging information with hapū, iwi, and Māori organisations.
