It
is very important that you have opportunities to solve problems
and practice skills for potentially unsafe situations. This makes
you better prepared if things go wrong.
This
rap point asks you to identify possible unsafe situations and to
develop a safety plan to deal with this situation in the event of
it happening to you!
RAP TASK
Divide the class
into groups of four. Give each student a number from 1 to 4.
In small groups
discuss the different types of unsafe situations you may find yourselves
in whilst using public transport. These could be real-life incidents
or predictions of possible situations you may encounter if you use
public transport.
From your group select one example and using Worksheet
3.1 develop a plan that will enable you to be better prepared
for this situation, if it happens in the future. It is important
that each person in the group completes Worksheet
3.1 for the next group activity.
The
following questions will serve as a guide as you work your way to
developing a personal safety plan to address this scenario. Ask:
- What is
the problem?
- What level
of risk is it – low, medium or high?
- What are
the choices you have in this situation?
- Which ones
would you choose?
- What are
the possible consequences of these choices?
- Which choice
will work out best? Why?
- Is this realistic
for you?
Having completed
your own personal safety plan for this scenario, split your group
up and share your plan with other students from other groups.
Form groups of
students by combining all the students numbered as 1 together, all
the 2’s together and so on.
In these groups,
share your risk situation and personal safety plans by:
- identifying
the risk situation you selected
- discussing
the options or choices you considered
- outlining
the safety plan you developed.
Based on the
feedback you receive from your peers:
Make changes
to your personal safety plans incorporating suggestions from the
group, where appropriate.
As a class,
develop a list of strategies that you selected in the personal
safety plans that enabled you to respond to potentially unsafe
situations. For example, assessing the risk, generating a number
of options, considering consequences, etc.
