Kia ora Kath,
Thank you for that- When I spoke to Chelsea I did advise that generally translating
legal documents isn’t something that can be done with Easy Read, and also that it
might be better to look at a guide, so I’m happy to keep advising of that too.
Out of scope
 and I look forward to hearing from you on
Monday!

Hi s9(2)(a)
I will take a look and come back to you. I'm pretty sure that both Andi and I have had
discussions with CNZ about this one - we have some concern/restrictions about translating
as it is a legal document/an agreement and we cannot translate legal documents - we did
advise CNZ that we could do an ER guide to accompany the form. 
Out of scope
 I will
give you a call when I've had a chance to review - its likely to be Monday when I call.
Thanks s9(2)(a)

Kia ora Kath,
 
I have had an request come through from Creative NZ, they have received a
request for an Easy Read document from an individual, and have sent that
through to the inbox.
 
The reason they aren’t looking at all formats yet is because their process is going
through review and they are wanting to look at the accessibility and alternate
formats once everything has gone through legal review.
 
I have the document and request form here, and have advised that with length and
complexity of the document we won’t be able to meet the 20th of June at this
stage, but I was just wondering if you have any time today to have a quick meeting
about it? Just as I think talking with you could be a bit easier than all through
email. Let me know if you have a sliver of time!
