I want to ask about the supports offered to people, including to the witnesses. All of these incidents, whether it is a combination of a lot of minor incidents or one big one, are all traumatic. All the money in the world would not pay for what some people have to deal with on a daily basis. In the aftermath of a traumatic incident what is done? In my previous work I represented healthcare workers, who had system in place for debriefing. Of course the challenge is having enough staff to do what is written in the protocol. What do the witnesses do to support themselves and keep themselves well, mentally as much as anything else, and for their staff? What supports are there? What happens in the immediate aftermath?
