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
- Full first-run intro deck (slides 1-7) including the slide-3 traffic-light vote - the cohort-voice mechanism survives the woven-to-standalone recomposition, repurposed to steer today + S8 + post-program follow-ups
- Mandy shares first (slide 5) - 'the most important minute of the slot', protected over everything except safety
- Active listening block with the cohort-drawing variant - protected; the module's default first pick
- Chair-prompt cards + pair practice (relocated from S8) - the speaking-up + chairing block is the meeting-language core of S7
- CARDS pair practice - core co-fac territory; bridges into S8 (M12 Meetings) via card 10
- Email parts walkthrough + take-home template - kept short; the fill-in is homework by design ('send it tomorrow')
Held over to next session
- Good Hygiene A3 - pending PWID menu-of-options review (CRR-020); not delivered, never improvised. If the cohort votes for it, it's a post-review commitment, not a today item
- Professional Clothes A3 - pending PWID menu-of-options review (CRR-021); same rule
- Listening photo set (36 source images) - REPLACE disposition, commission decision deferred (CRR-022); the cohort drawing variant runs instead and is the stronger activity anyway
- Phone-call practice (the email sheet's phone box) - named at the email walkthrough, not run; phone is optional and never pushed, especially with elders or formal contacts
- What Are Professional Skills A3 (confidence / on-time / paperwork sub-topics) - not scheduled; available as a take-home or an S8 weave if the vote demands it
- Full 30-min per-sub-topic formats compressed to 25 / 18 / 15 / 8 min to fit four blocks in one standalone session - trade-off accepted; if anything has to give on the day, drop email first, then trim CARDS to one pair round
- The woven design's 'pivot back to host module' beats dropped entirely - no host module exists in the standalone reading; blocks pivot into each other instead
- The 'practise it once and tell us next week' loop truncated - S8 is the last group session, so the report-back folds into the S8 open and the PATH Plan day prep
Materials needed
- Laptop + projector with M10 intro deck preloaded (first-pass pptx - purple-bar placeholders are expected; do not depend on cloud)
- Learning Topics A3 (the menu) x 7 - one per pair - + take-home copies x 12
- What is good active listening A3 x 5 + laminated listening card packs (~20 cards per pack) - eye-contact card carries facilitator guidance (pending review - CRR-019)
- Category cards x 3: Supportive listening / Not sure / Unsupportive listening (A4, large print)
- Blank cards + paper + textas for the cohort drawing variant - the Inclusion NT 36-photo listening set stays OUT of the kit (pending review - CRR-022)
- CARDS Things Leaders Can Say x 12 sets (laminated - participants keep their chosen cards)
- Email template handout x 12 + Easy Read picture-variant spares; phone with a sample inbox optional for the on-screen demo
- NOT in the kit by design: Good Hygiene A3 + Professional Clothes A3 - pending PWID menu-of-options review (CRR-020 / CRR-021); do not print, do not improvise
- Traffic light cards (green / yellow / red) - 1 set per participant; flipchart / butcher's paper + fat-tip markers + blu-tac
- Per-session (traffic light) feedback forms x 12 + SW feedback forms x 6
- Group Agreement poster (from S1, on the wall)
- Sign-in sheet, name labels, pens, water for participants
- Camera (only with Photo Permission Form consent)
- Catering for ~12:00 per dietary requirements - confirmed headcount day-before
- First aid kit
- 12× chair prompt card sets (6 laminated cards per set) + blank spare cards for own-words versions (pending review — CRR-023) — relocated from S8
Participant flags + needs are on the Emergency contacts and Run sheet (facilitator-only) — kept off the agenda to keep this one scannable.
