The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Find the five red flags”, learners spot the red flags in a realistic document and see the effect of each choice. In “In the stockroom”, a face-to-face conversation, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “How control reaches work” and “Words that help”.
