were produced capturing the feedback and conversations. These were reviewed before being provided to the Commission and published on https://theshiftaotearoa.wordpress.com/. This thematic feedback informed the drafting of the Guidelines. The Commission also conducted hui, originally intended to be run as kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face) engagements. However, this engagement had to be adjusted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Meetings were instead conducted predominately via Zoom with participation by people from around Aotearoa including the disabled community. Consultation on the draft Guidelines The Guidelines were released as a draft consultation document on 12 November 2020 and a consultation period ran until Monday 21 December 2020. The Commission welcomed submissions by email and in person. The Commission received 32 responses with feedback, including from local and central government, advocacy organisations, and individuals. We 42 Human Rights Commission received feedback both in the form of comments and track changes to the Guidelines document, and as broader thematic comments and submissions. The Commission also offered the opportunity to meet via Zoom/Skype to discuss responders’ feedback and answer questions they might have, and this opportunity was taken up by several organisations including local and central government and advocacy groups. The feedback the Commission received throughout this process was invaluable in re-drafting and refining the Guidelines. Following the consultation period, the Commission produced a second draft of the Guidelines which were again provided to Pou Tangata for their review and comment. After adoption by the Commission’s Board, the Guidelines will be reviewed on a regular basis (every 12 months) to ensure they continue to remain fit for purpose.
