Controls and safeguards

  • Do not use the forum for party-political endorsement, fundraising access or undisclosed lobbying.
  • Respect public-sector codes, caretaker conventions, confidentiality and agency media approval.
  • High — political neutrality, public-sector integrity, confidentiality and speaking authority require careful moderation.

What to measure

  • Relevant agencies and community perspectives are represented.

Follow-up: Circulate the corrected record, track only authorised commitments, and report back to participants and affected communities before scheduling another forum.

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.
