Facilitator's Notes
Scenarios
This link takes you to the Facilitator’s Notes containing practical advice based on our experience of running pilots of this Activity Workshop.
Activity Ten Facilitator's Notes : Scenarios
The following sheet is designed to give facilitators a series of example conversation prompts which can be quickly referred to during the workshop. The list is not designed to be not exhaustive, and after some experience with running the workshops you can always add to it with prompts that you are more comfortable with.

Activity Ten : Scenarios
Aim
The final discussion section encourages the delegates to reflect upon situations in which they may find themselves and gives the opportunity to apply what they’ve learnt in the workshop to actual scenarios.
Some what would you do if...scenarios are:
- ...you were sharing a lift with a younger colleague going down a motorway and they were pushing 100mph
- ...on an evening, you went bowling for a friend’s birthday and had several drinks. It is the morning after and you are due to drive to a meeting
- ...your alarm clock did not go off in the morning and you are late for work
- ...you arrive home and suddenly realise you do not remember all of the journey
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the activity, participants will be able to:
- List safer solutions to different scenarios
- Compare their solutions with their peers
- Determine how to put those solutions into practice

Assessment |
| (1) |
Present several "what would you do if..." scenarios involving other drivers on the road, friends who they are sharing a ride with, and themselves. Each of the scenarios illustrates an example of poor practice. Ask the delegates what they would do in these situations. |
Discuss the scenarios.
Offer solutions to what they would do. |
Discussion on each of the scenarios. |
| (2) |
Give the delegates several minutes to discuss in the open between the whole group what they would do in these scenarios. |
Compare solutions with peers. |
|
| (3) |
In the discussion of the different scenarios, delegates should be encouraged to debate the issues between themselves. In instances where a participant concludes there is a barrier to them acting safely, facilitators should put the perceived barrier back to the group as a question to try and find ways of overcoming it, or present a different perspective on the situation.
Try to guide the delegates towards the conclusion that their employers are a source of support. If they are making assumptions about what is expected from them and making sacrifices to their safety based on it, then it is best to discuss these assumptions and tradeoffs with their employers. |
Discuss what prevents them from driving safely. |
