I've found this experience very helpful towards my participation as a volunteer/helper. 

This has been a new experience for me, and I'm happy that I have this key information and knowledge to carry with me. I think this is something that is mindful towards our young community and should be shared more commonly with those who wish to volunteer/be a helper. 

This should apply in every workforce because it's useful and can make NZ a step closer to being a safer space.
