MEETING MINUTES    

Date: 22/09/2010

Start: 6:10pm 

1) Guest speaker, Sam Tsoui from Victim Support- He is a service coordinator based at Auckland Central police station- He set up a role play where half the room were victims with various scenarios and the rest were victim support who had to work to get information out of the victims. This proved very difficult for most.- Way to approach victims: Triple H. 1. Head ( Approach the victim confidently, introducing yourself and whilst also making clear what you need to do e.g. " Hi there, my name is Sam. I'm from victim support and I'm here just to get some information off you) 2. Heart (This is where you can empathise with the victim) 3. Head (Again leave the victim with information or resources that can help them e,g, contact details)
