The course
- 01The duty
- 02Assessing and adjusting
- 03The conversation
The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Write Hana’s risk assessment”, learners rewrite a realistic document line by line and see the effect of each choice. In “I’ve got some news”, 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 “If a risk remains” and “Decided for her or with her”.
