Discuss
- Talk to participants about the importance of having trusted people who you can talk to when you are feeling frightened, lost, upset or bullied.
- Discuss “What if…” situations and ask participants to recognise if the action is safe or unsafe.
- Relate the content to the surf club environment, such as; ‘What if you were really scared of the big surf and were being bullied to go out?‘
- Discuss with participants the following scenarios:
- What if you told a person you trusted that you did not feel safe and nothing happened?
- What if the person did not believe you?
- What if the person was too busy to listen?
- What if the person wasn’t there?
- What if the person believed you and still did nothing?
