Name the responsibilities being developed
Identify who gathers information, coordinates records, reviews findings or follows up actions. Explain existing experience and ask how the course outcomes and assessment relate to those responsibilities. The current catalogue lists Accident and Incident Investigation; confirm the intended accredited or CPD entry.
Prepare a safe illustrative example
Use a fictional or properly anonymised timeline to discuss how facts, sources and unanswered questions differ. Avoid names, medical information, witness statements and photographs identifying people in the initial enquiry. Ask the facilitator before sharing internal records.
Worked distinction between fact and assumption
Illustrative timeline: a log records an alarm at 10:04; a later account says a door was open. The first entry has a recorded source and timestamp; the second needs its own source and context. The exercise is to preserve those distinctions, not infer a cause from two isolated entries.
Keep live matters on their proper route
An active incident may require immediate actions and competent advice under the organisation’s procedures. A course enquiry does not commission an investigation or establish response availability. State any separate professional requirement through the appropriate engagement discussion.
