    No criminal offending's been identified, after complaints of unacceptable behaviour by a Disability Support Services worker - in the aftermath of a Christmas function


    The public servant has quit their job, after female staff complained - about an alleged incident, not in the office.

    Social Development Ministry Deputy Chief Executive, Anne Shaw, says two complaints made were taken seriously.

    Police confirm they spoke to the staffer in initial inquiries.

    They say the complainant knows the outcome and has been offered support.
