Day-of escalation tree
- Medical event (allergic reaction, breathing, fall): Call 000 first. Mandy or Metia stays with the participant. Lukas calls primary contact + DAS office. Document on incident form within 24 hours.
- Behavioural distress / walkout: Mandy or Metia follows after a beat. Quiet check-in outside the room. If escalation needed, call primary contact. Don't return participant to room without consent.
- Transport no-show (Keyanna): Call KP Services 0403 574 249. If unreachable, call Wil Boaza at CoLab. Don't wait past 11:15 — get session moving and update Keyanna by phone when transport sorted.
- Photo without consent risk: If anyone in the room photographs a participant whose form isn't signed, ask politely for the photo to be deleted. Note in debrief.
- Critical incident (any safety issue you can't handle alone): Lukas mobile 0409 924 058. If unreachable, DAS office (08) 8953 1422.

What we keep vs hold over
What we keep
- Both M5 (Now) AND M6 (My Team) in one block (per DAS 6-week schedule, like S2 did M3+M4)
- Four Boxes / Now worksheet activity - protected; the core of M5
- Short verbal halfway check-in - the pulse stays, kept to ~8 min
- Mandy's team-share - protected; the heart of M6
- My Team map activity - protected; the work of M6
- CA Local Support Map card handed out + 'Pick three' framing
- Three things to do this week + Mandy's 'tell one person' close
Held over to next session
- Full 7-page Mid-Program Reflection booklet - NOT worked in-room; short verbal check-in stays, the booklet goes home
- M6 long What-is-Community A3 walkthrough - A3 stays on the wall for reference, not delivered in full
- M6 EXAMPLES + QUESTIONS deep-dives - EXAMPLES on the wall as a sample, QUESTIONS available on request, neither walked through with the group
- M5 CA Fauna icebreaker - back IN (deck slide 9 has animal photo cards); slot ~5 min at the open and adjust the M5 times to fit
- M6 'walking distance / need a lift' slide compressed into one line inside the quadrant intro
- M5 + M6 activities trimmed from 30 min each to 25 / 22 min to fit two modules in one block - the trade-off accepted, activities protected over walkthroughs
