Review forms alongside the activity

What conditions apply to participation records and supervision?

Who should receive an incident report and what must it contain?
Make the next conversation useful
Bring the current documents and explain any changes. These details are a useful starting point:
- Activity list and participant numbers
- Coach credentials and employment status
- Facility and outdoor locations
