We issued a media release on a case involving an affected person who had been taken into custody and experienced some physical injury because of the use of force. In the media release, at his family's request, we disclosed that he experienced autism. We received information and feedback from the civil liberties and autism groups that they felt it was inappropriate to include that information, that it was personal and private, and that even though the family's view was that they wanted it disclosed, this was an adult male, and his right to privacy outweighed the views of his family.
We took that into consideration and now make a point of sending our public reports through to the privacy commissioner before they're released to the public.
