Kia ora koutou,

Please review below.

Police are urging members of the public to be aware of an online scam targeting people interested in attending fitness sessions in Auckland.

Victims have reported seeing Tai Chi classes being advertised on Facebook and asking them to register their interest.

After completing the online form the victims are contacted, usually via WhatsApp, and being instructed to download an app which is claimed to be used to book classes.

Once downloaded this app allows the scammers to access the victims bank accounts.
Multiple victims have reported losing large sums of money.

Police are advising the public to be aware of this scam and to not engage with anyone over WhatsApp about downloading apps onto their phone.

Anyone who would like to report an instance of this occurring or has information about those responsible is asked to update Police online now or call 105 using the reference number 260527/5473.

Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

Kia ora koutou,

Please read below.

Have you ever taken a course at Massey University involving a placement, practicum, internship, laboratory-based learning, or work-integrated learning? 🩺🔬👷‍♀️

Have you ever felt like you weren't too sure what it was you needed to have in order to enrol and succeed — or whether accommodations ('rea*onable adjustments') were available to help you thrive?

Massey University is proposing a new Inherent Requirements Policy that helps to outline —
🔵 How and where the University publishes inherent requirements (knowledge, abilities, and standards of conduct you will need to participate in a course).
🔵 When rea*onable adjustments are (and aren't) available.
🔵 Which kinds of courses need to provide information about inherent requirements and rea*onable adjustments.
🔵 Who makes decisions about inherent requirements and rea*onable adjustments.

For this Policy, Massey University is seeking your feedback! You might want to ask yourself —
🔵 Do you think the Policy is in plain language?
🔵 Do you think it helps to make sure students can make informed decisions?
🔵 Do you think rea*onable adjustments are well described, and meet the needs of students?
🔵 What would you like to see changed?

Check out the draft Policy here (PDF) — https://bit.ly/inherent-reqs

You can complete a short survey here (Microsoft login required) — https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/6qG3zhRKB0

You can provide open feedback here (Microsoft login required) — https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=4SiHONC7eEOY3PhoLmRDAPWaqB9BPUJHg8EIfSpOi9JUODVINVk1Vzg1U0ZPSkc1VjFOQzlFRU9WTC4u

You can register for the focus group here (set for May 29th at 12:30pm, where you can go in to win one of three $25 vouchers) (Microsoft login required) — https://forms.office.com/r/A5swsCrT0x
