# PWR-245 — Moral courage: learner worksheet Release: Revision 7T · Full Tutorial Edition Estimated time: Estimated 32 min reading and worksheet pass Difficulty: Intermediate Equipment: Common household or practice equipment — Fictional case card: At 16:00 on Monday, a trainee sees that two required pre-use checks are blank in an equipment log. The supervisor says, “Do not record the missed checks; it will make the team look bad.” The equipment is switched off, tagged unavailable and no one is currently injured or exposed.; Fictional policy excerpt — Immediate danger: if equipment is active or a person is at immediate risk, leave the area, raise the site alarm and use the local emergency procedure. This overrides every ordinary reporting route.; Fictional policy excerpt — Safety concern route: missed, false or discouraged equipment checks go to the Safety Lead through the Safety Concern form. The Safety Lead acknowledges receipt within one working day and may keep equipment isolated while the concern is checked.; Fictional policy excerpt — Independent concern route: when a manager is involved or retaliation is reasonably feared, the learner may first speak to the Independent Concerns Officer. The officer may discuss minimum facts before a formal report. Confidentiality is limited to people who need the information; anonymity and protection from retaliation are not guaranteed.; Fictional policy excerpt — Learner support: the Trainee Advocate may help the learner understand the routes and attend a meeting, but does not investigate, promise confidentiality or receive emergencies.; Fictional policy excerpt — Escalation: if the Safety Lead does not acknowledge the concern within one working day, or if the equipment is returned to service before the concern is checked, the route moves to the fictional Operations Director and External Safety Regulator. These names are exercise roles, not real-world legal advice. Space: Desk / seated Automated structural checklist: 10 of 10 structural checks present Evidence quality/context: G6; Focused research depth Automated method-quality band: Comprehensive Method-rating basis: Structure coverage, instruction/check specificity, alternative distinctness, source troubleshooting, comparison depth and whether purpose/check fields are authored rather than derived. Editorial review: Pending manual editorial sign off ## Before you begin - [ ] I read the tutorial authority and stop conditions. - [ ] I have the required equipment/space or a declared accessible alternative. ## Canonical source context This restricted lesson does not train disclosure, confrontation, whistleblowing, civil disobedience or sacrifice. It teaches a complete safe-response method: distinguish immediate danger from a non-urgent concern, record only direct facts, protect confidentiality, map current legitimate routes and deadlines, assess retaliation and safeguarding risks with independent support, choose a route or safe pause, and preserve wellbeing and follow-up. Target outcome: Using a wholly fictional concern, the learner creates a fact-based, confidentiality-aware route map with emergency, internal, independent and external options, escalation triggers and a no-confrontation decision. ### Authority and setup conditions - Confirm that every person, organisation and route in the packet is fictional. Do not substitute a real concern. - Write the emergency override at the top of the sheet: “Active danger or a person at immediate risk means stop this lesson and use the real local emergency procedure.” - Set the exercise boundary: no contact, confrontation, covert recording, document removal, public posting or real disclosure. - Read all six fictional policy excerpts before choosing a route. ### Required or supplied materials - Fictional case card: At 16:00 on Monday, a trainee sees that two required pre-use checks are blank in an equipment log.

These names are exercise roles, not real-world legal advice. - A route-map sheet with columns for trigger, recipient, minimum information, response time, confidentiality limit, support person and next escalation. - A fact sheet with separate columns for direct observation, exact words heard, inference, hearsay and unknown. ## 1. Decide whether there is immediate danger Check whether the equipment is active, whether anyone is exposed and whether an injury or emergency is happening now. Use only the case-card facts. Why: An immediate danger needs the emergency procedure; a non-immediate concern can use the ordinary safety routes. Success check: The case is labelled immediate or non-immediate with the exact fact supporting that decision. Accessible alternative: Complete “Check whether the equipment is active, whether anyone is exposed and whether an injury or emergency is happening now. Use only the case-card facts.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “The case is labelled immediate or non-immediate with the exact fact supporting that decision.” Allow a trusted support person, advocate, union representative, interpreter or AAC without forcing public disclosure. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 2. Separate facts from interpretation Copy the time, blank checks, equipment status and supervisor's exact words into the direct-fact columns. Put any claim about motive or intention under inference. Why: A factual record is easier to check and less likely to create unnecessary harm. Success check: Every sentence is labelled direct observation, exact words, inference, hearsay or unknown. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Copy the time, blank checks, equipment status and supervisor's exact words into the direct-fact columns. Put any claim about motive or intention under inference.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Every sentence is labelled direct observation, exact words, inference, hearsay or unknown.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 3. Limit the information List only the information the safety recipient needs: what check was missing, when it was seen, current equipment status and the exact instruction given. Do not add unrelated names or records. Why: Minimum necessary information protects privacy and keeps the concern clear. Success check: Every proposed detail has a stated reason for being shared. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “List only the information the safety recipient needs: what check was missing, when it was seen, current equipment status and the exact instruction given. Do not add unrelated names or records.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Every proposed detail has a stated reason for being shared.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 4. Build the route map from the packet Enter the Immediate Danger route, Safety Lead, Independent Concerns Officer, Trainee Advocate, Operations Director and fictional External Safety Regulator. Copy each trigger, response time, confidentiality limit and escalation exactly. Why: The exercise should use defined routes rather than guessing what an organisation might do. Success check: All six route rows can be traced to a supplied policy sentence. Accessible alternative: Complete “Enter the Immediate Danger route, Safety Lead, Independent Concerns Officer, Trainee Advocate, Operations Director and fictional External Safety Regulator. Copy each trigger, response time, confidentiality limit and escalation exactly.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “All six route rows can be traced to a supplied policy sentence.” Allow a trusted support person, advocate, union representative, interpreter or AAC without forcing public disclosure. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 5. Check retaliation and support Note that the supervisor assesses the trainee. Choose whether the Independent Concerns Officer and Trainee Advocate should be used before or alongside the Safety Lead. Why: A reporting choice must account for power and personal risk, not just the seriousness of the concern. Success check: The plan names one independent adviser, one support person and the limits of their protection. Accessible alternative: Complete “Note that the supervisor assesses the trainee. Choose whether the Independent Concerns Officer and Trainee Advocate should be used before or alongside the Safety Lead.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “The plan names one independent adviser, one support person and the limits of their protection.” Offer private and asynchronous planning; do not require eye contact, role-play or spoken confrontation. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 6. Choose the first safe route For the supplied facts, choose the first recipient, the minimum information to share and the reason a direct confrontation is unnecessary. Why: Moral courage is not measured by accepting avoidable danger. Success check: The route follows the policy trigger and includes a safe pause if support or protection is unclear. Accessible alternative: Complete “For the supplied facts, choose the first recipient, the minimum information to share and the reason a direct confrontation is unnecessary.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “The route follows the policy trigger and includes a safe pause if support or protection is unclear.” Provide route information in plain language, accessible formats and the learner’s preferred language. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 7. Draft an unsent five-line report Write: the fictional concern; the time and place; the direct facts; the current danger status; and the help or acknowledgement requested. Label it “exercise only—do not send.” Why: A short factual draft tests whether the concern can be communicated without accusation or unnecessary disclosure. Success check: The draft contains facts, current status and requested next step, but no guessed motive or protection promise. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Write: the fictional concern; the time and place; the direct facts; the current danger status; and the help or acknowledgement requested. Label it “exercise only—do not send.”” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The draft contains facts, current status and requested next step, but no guessed motive or protection promise.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 8. Set the acknowledgement and escalation checks Record the Safety Lead's one-working-day acknowledgement time. State that no acknowledgement, or return of the equipment to service, activates the next fictional route. Why: A concern can be lost unless the learner knows when and how to follow up. Success check: The plan contains one exact acknowledgement deadline and two exact escalation triggers. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Record the Safety Lead's one-working-day acknowledgement time. State that no acknowledgement, or return of the equipment to service, activates the next fictional route.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The plan contains one exact acknowledgement deadline and two exact escalation triggers.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 9. End the exercise safely Put the fictional sheets away, note any distress and state which qualified independent route would replace this exercise if a real case arose. Why: The lesson must not draw a real disclosure into an unprotected practice space. Success check: No real contact or disclosure has occurred and the learner can name the boundary. Accessible alternative: Complete “Put the fictional sheets away, note any distress and state which qualified independent route would replace this exercise if a real case arose.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “No real contact or disclosure has occurred and the learner can name the boundary.” Provide route information in plain language, accessible formats and the learner’s preferred language.
