Southern Cross Group’s Security & Concierge staffs help find Oscar, a kid with Down Syndrome



Alongside our helpful security personnel, Southern Cross also assist centre patrons via our Concierge service. Recently the concierge staff at Warringah Mall received this note of thanks from Richard and Lucy after helping them find their missing son:
 
“We came into the centre on Saturday morning as a family, to pick up a couple of things.

As we walked in we bumped into some friends and chatted for a bit, my 6-year-old daughter could see the Kidsstuff store and wanted to look at the Beanie Boos. I took her into the store as my wife talked to our friends with my 8-year-old son, Oscar. Oscar has Down Syndrome, and whilst he is very high functioning and fast! He can be quite impulsive and can get confused quite easily.
After a couple of minutes, Oscar obviously decided he was bored and wanted to come and find Dad, and within the blink of an eye, he was gone. I set off desperately looking in the shops near us and my wife went to the concierge desk to ask for help.

After about 15 minutes of me running around the centre looking for Oscar, my wife called me to say he’d been found, in the car park!  As an experience for us, it was horrid, but it could have been so much worse.

In the panic of the situation we forget to take note of the concierge’s name or the security guards, but please pass on our heartfelt thanks to everyone who was working on Saturday morning and helped us, they all did a terrific job and we really appreciated it.”

Richard also stated that Southern Cross Group’ security staff and personnel were calm, professional and reassuring throughout the whole ordeal.

Great work Team!
