At the scene

√    As soon as it’s safe to tend the victim, please do so or check that someone else is.

√    If you cannot hang around to wait for the police to arrive, leave your name and a contact number with the victim, someone tending them or the ambulance crew if you have some useful evidence and are willing to show support.

√    Encourage other witnesses to do the same.

√    If you’re not familiar with the area, make a note of the road and any notable site, shop or building so you can easily recall your bearings.  If it’s easy to find a postcode from a neighbour or nearby business, do.  If not, check Google maps or Google street view as soon as you can so you have a clear record.
