Safety is:

Actions of protection taken by the caregiver that mitigate the danger demonstrated over time.

Agreements• “Try on.”

• Everyone always has the right to pass.

• Know that silence is a contribution.

• We agree to share airtime and stick to time limits.

• We agree to speak personally, for ourselves as individuals. • We agree to disagree and avoid making assumptions or

generalities.

• We agree to allow others to finish speaking before we speak, and avoid interrupting and side conversations.

• We will all work together to hold to these agreements and authorize the trainer to hold us to them.
