Something Has Changed

You will practiseNotice change without turning observation into accusation.
Start quick activity

A character you know seems different. You notice a change, but you do not yet know why.

What can a change tell us — and what can’t it tell us?

Understand the idea

Describe what is observable before explaining what you think it means. There may not be enough information yet. Good safeguarding begins with attention, not certainty.

You do not need to share anything about your own life or family.

A fictional situation

A character’s behaviour has changed, something has been said and a new plan or expectation has appeared. You do not yet know why.

Story observation · Observation or assumption

Question 1 of 3 · Notice

What do you know at this point?

Choose one answer, then submit it.

Sort what you know before you decide.

Select every thinking move that belongs in your answer. There may be more than one. Nothing is submitted or saved.

Changing your answer after new evidence is good reasoning.

Reflect privately

Write privately, think silently or pass. Nothing entered here is submitted or saved.

Concern can justify safe help-seeking. It does not justify amateur investigation.

Optional extension: State what further information would increase or reduce concern.
