The manager of Dunedin’s Women’s Refuge has resigned after investigations revealed a raft of serious issues. But the centre will be allowed to keep its government accreditation, albeit under close scrutiny, the Ministry of Social Development has confirmed. Issues at Te Whare Pounamu Dunedin Women’s Refuge became public earlier this year after investigations found it fell short of three Social Sector Accreditation standards. Women’s Refuge New Zealand chief executive Dr Ang Jury said an independent assessment essentially highlighted the same issues as other investigations, primarily workplace culture and some people “being a little bit loose with donations” of things like food and clothing. She confirmed the centre’s manager had resigned.
