Notify the next of kin or guardian The manager is to notify the next of kin or guardian in person, where possible: • When and where the person died; • That the death will be reported to the Police who will inform the State Coroner; • That the death will be reported to the NSW Ombudsman. For Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people, it is important for the family to identify the appropriate member of the family and advise them of the matters surrounding the death. It may be inappropriate for a staff member to inform the family as this could be a breach of cultural protocol. It may also be a breach of protocol for a non-Aboriginal person to inform the identified family member of the death and this may need to be done by another Aboriginal person. Appropriate process Prior to notifying next of kin, ring in advance and state a situation has occurred and that you need to come and speak with them. Ask the next of kin if they would like to arrange a support person to be with them whilst you meet with them. In the case where face-to-face notification cannot occur, inform the next of kin over the phone that a situation has occurred and ask if they would like to arrange a support person of their choice to be present prior to giving notification. In the case where the next of kin do not arrange a support person at the time of the notification, ensure that support is arranged immediately afterwards. Refer to the person's End of Life Care Plan Information on the person's and the family's wishes in the event of death should be documented in the person's End of Life Care Plan. If the person did not prepare an End of Life Care Plan, the manager will liaise with the next of kin or guardian to determine: Good to Great e-Learning Module Death Procedures • If they require an interpreter service; • The need to observe any cultural or religious practices or taboos; • Whether the family or others wish to view the deceased person; • A suitable time to view the deceased person before transportation to the State Coroner. Alternatively, viewing times may be arranged with the State Coroner or funeral director. If requested, allow access for family and significant others to come and visit the house The person's family and significant others may choose to visit the house to view the person's bedroom and belongings. To facilitate this, ensure the person's bedroom and belongings remain how they were left. Good to Great e-Learning Module Death Procedures Support Support for another person with disability, includes: • An advocate or person of their choice; • Legal representation, if necessary. Identify the person The person must be identified by either: • Family; • A friend; • The manager; • An ADHC employee who knows the person. Note 1 Under the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Regulation 2005, a vulnerable person as defined in Regulation 24 (person with disability) is entitled to have a support person present when a person is being interviewed by police (Regulation 27). Good to Great e-Learning Module Death Procedures The support person does not have the same function as the 'person responsible' and will not make decisions for the person with disability. However, it is: • Someone who is a guardian; or • Any other person who is responsible for the person; or • A relative or friend who has the consent of the detained person to be their support person. A support person's role during an investigation procedure is to assist and support the person, observe whether or not the interview is being conducted fairly, and to identify any communication problems with the person. Note 2 The manager of an Assisted Boarding House is required under the Boarding House Act to inform FACS as soon as is reasonably possible (preferably within 24 hours), about the death of a person from an Assisted Boarding House, as outlined in the Assisted Boarding Houses Authorisation and Monitoring Manual.

Introduction Language, land and song are closely entwined for most pre-industrial societies, whether the fishing and farming economies of Homeric Greece, or the raiding, mercenary and farming economies of the Norse, or the hunter- gatherer economies of Australia. Documenting a language is now seen as incomplete unless documenting place, story and song forms part of it. This book presents language documentation in its broadest sense in the Australian context, also giving a view of the documentation of Australian Aboriginal languages over time.1 In doing so, we celebrate the achievements of a pioneer in this field, Luise Hercus, who has documented languages, land, song and story in Australia over more than fifty years.

For 10 years Reconciliation NSW has been engaging young people and schools in reconciliation. Our theme this year, Speaking and Listening from the Heart has inspired primary and high school students from across NSW and the ACT to create reconciliation-inspired art and writing for the SRC. We continue to be inspired by the contribution these young people, from many different backgrounds, make to reconciliation with their talent and insight. We thank each and every school, teacher, principal, parent and student who has taken part, guided and supported students and each other. It is thanks to their dedication that the SRC continues to grow each year. We are grateful for their hard work and commitment in ensuring that schools are key contributors to reconciliation processes. In 2019 we received 415 art and writing entries from students across NSW and the ACT, each reflecting the theme and their perspectives on Australia’s ongoing reconciliation journey. It is a privilege to see the depth of engagement, insight and commitment to reconciliation in action that students demonstrate ACKNOWLEDGMENT through their art and writing entries. OF COUNTRY The quality of the art and writing entries we received made the selection process for the exhibition Reconciliation NSW hard work. Many of the artworks were developed acknowledges the collaboratively, involving classes or groups of students traditional owners of under the guidance of local Aboriginal artists, parents Country throughout and community members.

  • FAMILY CARE Once the Occurrence of an Incident/Accident Has Been Verified and There Is Positive Confirmation of the Crewmembers
    FAMILY CARE Once the occurrence of an incident/accident has been verified and there is positive confirmation of the crewmembers involved, the next of kin/emergency contacts must be notified. Due to vacations, illness, etc., it may be necessary for any of the members of the management team to be involved in the injury/death notification along with the employee designated individuals (listed in the next of kin/emergency contact form). Some things to consider involving family notification include: • Always use more than one individual, i.e., program director, chaplain, other team members along with the employee designated individual who is found on the next of kin/emergency notification form. • Determine who your notification team is going to be prior to an accident. Have back-ups. • Who should be notified? Spouse? Parents? Siblings? In-laws? Children? This should be on the next of kin notification form. • Be cognizant of the diversity of family dynamics in this situation. • Where will the notification occur? Home, work, out of state? • Be prepared for delays. • In the case of serious injuries, the most important concern is getting the family to the employee. • A Family Liaison Officer (described below) should be assigned to each injured or deceased crewmember family. • The family should learn of the injury or death before the media. Sometimes this is not possible due to the widespread use of smart phones and social media. Whenever possible, tell the family in person. • If done via the phone, the notification team should meet with the family as soon as possible. If possible, use local law enforcement personnel to physically go to the home to be present for the notification if your agency is unable due to geographical distance or urgency due to media involvement.

  • A STUDY of the EFFECTIVENESS of a DEATH NOTIFICATION TRAINING SEMINAR for LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS by Brandon Jeremy Register
    A STUDY OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A DEATH NOTIFICATION TRAINING SEMINAR FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS by Brandon Jeremy Register (Under the direction of Alan E. Stewart) ABSTRACT This study evaluated the effectiveness of a death notification training seminar for law enforcement officers developed by Alan Stewart and Janice Harris Lord. Previous research has demonstrated that a significant portion of law enforcement officers have received little to no death notification training, yet the majority of officers have delivered at least one death notification (Stewart et al., 2000). Participants (N=307) were a mix of law enforcement officers (n=163), chaplains (n=25), victim advocates (n=32), and nine other categories of law enforcement personnel (n=87) across five states in the United States. Results of pre and post measures indicated that the seminar was viewed to be effective overall; that it enhanced the death notification skills of participants; that it increased their confidence in performing a compassionate and thorough death notification; and that participants generally felt prepared to handle circumstances which commonly surround death notification after attending the seminar. Differences in reported death notification experiences were analyzed by gender and professional identification. Males reported performing significantly more death notifications than females, and significant differences were found between Officers, Chaplains, and Victim Advocates on several measures of emotional response during death notifications. Implications are

    P129: The Personal Archives of Alfred Reginald RADCLIFFE-BROWN (1881- 1955), Professor of Anthropology 1926 – 1931 Contents Date Range: 1915-1951 Shelf Metre: 0.16 Accession: Series 2: Gift and deposit register p162 Alfred Reginald Radcliffe-Brown was born on 17 January 1881 at Aston, Warwickshire, England, second son of Alfred Brown, manufacturer's clerk and his wife Hannah, nee Radcliffe. He was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. 1905, M. A. 1909), graduating with first class honours in the moral sciences tripos. He studied psychology under W. H. R. Rivers, who, with A. C. Haddon, led him towards social anthropology. Elected Anthony Wilkin student in ethnology in 1906 (and 1909), he spent two years in the field in the Andaman Islands. A fellow of Trinity (1908 - 1914), he lectured twice a week on ethnology at the London School of Economics and visited Paris where he met Emily Durkheim. At Cambridge on 19 April 1910 he married Winifred Marie Lyon; they were divorced in 1938. Radcliffe-Brown (then known as AR Brown) joined E. L. Grant Watson and Daisy Bates in an expedition to the North-West of Western Australia studying the remnants of Aboriginal tribes for some two years from 1910, but friction developed between Brown and Mrs. Bates. Brown published his research from that time in an article titled “Three Tribes of Western Australia”, The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 43, (Jan. - Jun., 1913), pp. 143-194. At the 1914 meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Melbourne, Daisy Bates accused Brown of gross plagiarism.
