WANDERSEARCH

WanderSearch (also known as Wandatrak in some districts) supports people living in the community with a condition such as (Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Autism, Brain Injury or Down Syndrome) who is more at risk of going missing and where other technologies are not suitable. It allows them to live healthy, active lifestyles with freedom in the communities they love and can significantly reduce a carers stress.

WanderSearch devices are small, robust radio-frequency signal transmitters that are worn by people at risk. If the person does go missing and is wearing the device, they can be located by trained Police and/or Land Search and Rescue volunteers using specialist equipment to detect the individual specific radio-frequency number of the device.

Every area in New Zealand has a Group that delivers the WanderSearch system to their community. There are three di erent types of groups, most are part of the local LandSAR organisation and others are either WanderSearch Trusts or part of the local Alzheimer's Society. The groups that provide WanderSearch are charitable organisations heavily reliant on volunteers and charitable funding.

Currently, within the Selwyn region, there are only five WanderSearch clients, and there are around ninety five in the Canterbury region. The area Selwynfallsinto isPolicedistrict 6, which is quite a large area. The Group would like to raise awareness of this valuable device which helps locate peoples loved ones when they are missing, and time is often critical.

Minutes Vs Resolutions

While some see a subtle semantic di erence, others see the important distinction between minutes and resolutions. Accurate resolutions are essential in demonstrating appropriate standards of trust management and therefore where a resolution is inaccurate, the trustees’ position can be compromised.

Inthecontext ofTrusts,theterm minutes and resolutions are often used interchangeably. However, there is a di erence that trustees should be aware of: Minutes, more commonly referred to in the context of companies, generally provide a formal record of the meeting, including the attendees, the documents presented and what wasdecided.

In comparison, resolutions are a record of the decision that the trustees have made regardless of whether the decision was made ataformalmeeting.

It is likely that at the time your Trustwasestablished,thelawyer actingforyourecommendedthat the trustees of the Trust hold an annual trustee meeting. The minutes of this meeting should be recorded, and any decisions made at the annual trustee meeting should be recorded in Trustee Resolutions. These resolutions may be useful evidence if the Trust’s validity is everquestioned.

With a growing number of challenges brought against Trusts, and the Trusts Act 2019 bringing increased responsibility for trustees, the need to demonstrate proper decision makingisincreasinglyvaluable.
