Per-participant contact tree

Critical-flag participants highlighted. Call primary contact first; secondary as backup.

Loading participant contacts… (facilitator sign-in required — this artefact hydrates from the cohort database and prints nothing without it.)

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.
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.

11:06–11:12 6 min	Housekeeping Standard slide · Toilets + Assembly + Cards + Food	Metia
11:12–11:20 8 min	Meetings - why we practise + the menu M12 intro deck · simplified for the PWID cohort - fewer words, more pictures	Metia (Mandy delivers her why-meetings line)

11:25–11:30 5 min	Watch us have a meeting - the game 'Good chair or not?' set-up · replaces Leadership Bingo (2026-07-08 redesign)	Metia sets it up · Mandy + Lukas get ready to play
11:30–11:33 3 min	Leadership Bingo - set-up Restored 2026-07-08 at the facilitators' request · runs ALONGSIDE the green/red card vote	Metia sets it up · Mandy takes the chair's seat

What we keep vs hold over

What we keep

This is an EXPANSION, not a compression - M12 was a 30-50 min woven slot, recomposed to fill the 2hr standalone slot the schedule books
Full intro deck (slides 6-8) + Mandy-goes-first (slide 9) - the 'first time woven' full treatment, since this is the first and only time
'Good chair or not?' game arc complete and uncut: rules -> facilitator-modelled pretend meeting -> vote & reveal -> 'your turn' chairing round
The FREEZE power (red card stops the meeting) taught and used live - speaking up practised, not just described
Facilitator-modelled pretend meeting protected as the centrepiece - Mandy chairs well, Metia + Lukas play the staged bad behaviour
Green-card 'your turn' round kept - a participant chairs, the room floods green only (dignity-safe)
End-of-program close built from M12's own devices: master prompt 13 (finish with an appreciation), co-fac close, individual by-name thank-yous at the door

Held over to next session

Leadership Bingo was retired 2026-07-08 then RESTORED the same day at the facilitators' request - it now runs alongside the traffic-light vote (see the Bingo set-up segment); the 14-item master-sheet compare happens informally at the 'Good chair or not?' debrief
The multi-week weaving structure itself - the repeat-week 3-slide deck cut is never used; both halves run in one block today
'Pivot back to host module' segment - there is no host module; the slot bridges to lunch and the close instead
Slide 8 menu's old scheduling-vote (picking which week gets which sub-topic) - dropped; the menu is now a straight preview since both halves run today
'Use one in a real meeting before next session' homework - no next session; retargeted to the individual PATH Plan day
'We'll come back to meetings in [next M12 slot]' wrap-up line - dropped; replaced by the plan-day bridge
Easy Read / remote-community / small-cohort variants - not run, but in the kit if the room needs them on the day (whole-cohort circle instead of pairs, whole-room single vote instead of individual cards)
The in-session PATH-Plan-day card pick ('name the ONE card', flipchart capture) - dropped 2026-07-08; participants take the chair prompt set home and use one on the day.

Materials needed

Laptop + projector with the S8 deck (24 slides) preloaded - the slide-12 vote is interactive (click reveals each answer); the day survives without AV (the vote runs on physical cards)
Traffic-light cards - cohort's own sets at each seat, plus 6 spare sets. The whole 'Good chair or not?' game runs on these
12x Leadership Bingo participant cards (3 each of cards 1-4) + 2 spare - restored 2026-07-08; print from 'Chairing Meeting Bingo.pdf' (source library / 02_Working '12. Meetings')
2x Chairing Meeting Bingo Master sheets - laminated (chair + spare); print from 'Chairing Meeting Bingo Master Sheets.pdf'
Participants bring their own chair prompt + speaking-up cards (made in S7); a few spare blank cards on hand for own-words versions (pending review — CRR-023)
12× take-home folders (traffic-light cards + chair prompt set go in at the close)
Flipchart with the pretend-meeting agenda pre-written (welcome · lunch on PATH Plan day · cohort photo · end-of-program celebration)
Water on the meeting table for participants (source-specified - it's a real meeting)
Group Agreement poster (from S1) on the wall - final outing
Butcher's paper, blu-tac, pens, fat markers, name labels
Per-session (traffic light) feedback forms × 12 + SW feedback forms × 6
Camera (only with Photo Permission Form consent - a cohort photo may be taken today, consent still applies)
Catering for ~12:00 per dietary requirements - confirmed headcount day-before
First aid kit
M9_W4 End-of-Program Reflection sheets — 1 per participant (relocated from S6)

Participant flags + needs are on the Emergency contacts and Run sheet (facilitator-only) — kept off the agenda to keep this one scannable.
