There's:
- 2 scenarios within each document – 1 aimed at primary schools and 1 for secondary schools. Delete the scenario that doesn't apply to your phase
- 2 versions of each document – 1 with prompts for how staff should respond (with answers) and 1 without (no answers)
If you send the scenario to staff by email, make sure you use the version without the answers. Erase 'private fostering' from the file name before sending it, so staff don't see which safeguarding issue the scenario is about.
If you use the scenario at a staff briefing, make sure you give staff the version without the highlighted answer text.
