一名举报人揭露新西兰卫生工作者儿童安全检查失败,导致进行全国审查和改革。 A whistleblower exposed failed child safety checks for health workers in New Zealand, leading to a national review and reforms.

举报人的报告引发了对在新西兰卫生部门工作的成年人进行儿童安全检查的全国性审查,表明一些医院多年来没有进行包括警察检查在内的必要的背景审查。 A whistleblower’s report triggered a nationwide review of child safety checks for adults working in New Zealand’s health sector, revealing that required background vetting, including police checks, had not been conducted for years at some hospitals. 首席监察员发现Health NZ和多个地区卫生委员会未能遵守2014年《儿童法》,促使正式调查和国家审计。 The Chief Ombudsman found Health NZ and multiple District Health Boards had failed to comply with the Children’s Act 2014, prompting a formal inquiry and national audits. 对此,新西兰卫生部承诺对其流程进行彻底改革,建立一个中央安全监督中心,不断进行审计,并加强合规工作。 In response, Health NZ committed to overhauling its processes, establishing a central safety oversight hub, conducting ongoing audits, and strengthening compliance. 举报人的身份仍然受到保护,他们因帮助揭露系统性失误而受到赞扬。 The whistleblower, whose identity remains protected, was praised for helping expose systemic failures. 本案强调了受保护的披露在推动问责制和改善整个公共服务部门的儿童安全保障方面的重要性。 The case underscores the importance of protected disclosures in driving accountability and improving child safety protections across public services.
