The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Fix Sam’s concern note”, learners rewrite a realistic document line by line and see the effect of each choice. In “The social worker asks”, a chat, 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 “Share without consent?” and “Jo’s term”.
How you know they finished
The 11-question quiz mixes multiple choice and matching questions and returns to the opening story.
