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
- Single module this week - no two-module fold, but M8 is the heaviest module of the program (21 slides + 2 stories + 4 worksheets); the crunch risk is internal pacing, not module count
- Both stories read aloud in full - the module's pedagogy is two different goal-shapes (recovery-plan, slow-mastery); shorten the discussions before you ever touch the readings
- My Future P7 writing time - protected; this is the page the PATH Plan day builds on
- My Plans P8-9 writing time - protected; at least one domain started per participant
- Leader-goals beat (slide 16) - survives even as one spoken line referencing Joelle + Vivienne
- Wrap-up PATH Plan day flag - non-negotiable; some participants don't realise the plan day happens individually after the group sessions
- Appreciations + Mandy thanking each person by name at the door
Held over to next session
- Inclusion NT 'Goals quiz' - already cut in the DAS rebuild (the session is heavy enough and a closing quiz reads as testing); the wrap-up reflection + Appreciations cover the same closure beat
- Slide 15 CA examples - first cut: one row per domain instead of three (the heat-day trim works for any time crunch)
- QUESTIONS handout - optional by design; goes unmentioned if the room is full or time is short
- Share-back - shrinks from a full circle to two or three volunteers if behind at 12:40
- Story discussions - compress from 5 min to 2-3 min each before anything else moves
- Icebreaker - trim to ~30 seconds each; P7 does the same future-facing work in writing
- Unfinished P7 / P8-9 - booklet pages: 'finish at home' or pick up at the PATH Plan day; don't force completion in-room
Materials needed
- Laptop + projector with S5 deck preloaded (21 slides, built from M8_deck.md) - do not depend on cloud
- My Future worksheet (P7, blank A3) - 12 + 2 spare, laid out at seats
- My Plans worksheet (P8-9, blank A3) - 12 + 2 spare - held back, handed out in stages after the break
- My Plans EXAMPLES handout - 12; Learning & Work column includes the lowercase 'learn more about my country' option (pending cultural review - CRR-005)
- My Plans QUESTIONS handout - 12, optional - only for participants who want prompts
- What is a goal A3 — pending photo sourcing (Phase 4.5) - if not produced by 18 June, slide 6 carries the same four statements; don't apologise for the missing handout
- CA Leadership Stories printout - Story 1 (Joelle) + Story 7 (Vivienne), one set each for Metia + Mandy
- Per-session feedback forms - 1 per participant
- Pens, pencils, textas, large-grip pens
- Hot drinks on arrival - tea / coffee / hot water (June-August, per the heat-and-climate guide)
- Tissues - 1 box on the table (soft permission for emotional moments)
- Group Agreement poster (from S1, on the wall)
- Catering for ~12:00 per dietary requirements - confirmed headcount day-before
- First aid kit
Participant flags + needs are on the Emergency contacts and Run sheet (facilitator-only) — kept off the agenda to keep this one scannable.
