Controls and safeguards

  • No participant case becomes a facilitator sales lead.
  • Avoid individual employment, legal or financial advice in the group setting.
  • MEDIUM — confidential workplace cases, facilitator conflicts and regulated-advice boundaries require a clear learning contract.

What to measure

  • Participants completing the learning cycle.

Follow-up: Send the relevant tool after each workshop, answer scope-safe questions within three days and hold one 30-day application clinic.

Before your club says yes

Does the idea fit?

Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.

Who can say yes?

Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.

Are people protected?

Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.

Can everyone take part?

Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.

Are the facts and permissions right?

Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.

How will we learn?

Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
