IVET Sport & Rec: Deliver Rec Sessions - E5 Introducing the Session

Episode 5 of Deliver rec sessions explores how the introduction sets the tone for the entire session. Zali and Sarah break down how to explain objectives, provide safety information across procedures, behaviour, and boundaries, advise participants of staff roles and communication protocols, and encourage questions before and during the session. Key Takeaways: - The introduction covers objectives, safety information, staff roles, and expectations before activities begin. - Safety information addresses three areas: safety procedures, safe behaviour including equipment use, and safe areas and boundaries. - Participants need to know how to signal difficulties, whether through hand signals, whistles, verbal communication, or non-verbal cues. - Advising participants of staff roles and communication protocols helps them know who to approach and how. - Encouraging questions and checking understanding prevents misunderstandings and promotes a safe environment.
