During a discussion-based exercise, the exercise facilitator is notified of a threat that could compromise participant safety. The facilitator's next step will be:
A.
Begin gathering more details about the situation
B.
Use a pre-determined code word to notify all participants of suspension of the exercise
C.
Call a short break to allow time to determine how to proceed
D.
Continue with the exercise unless otherwise notified
Participant safety is paramount during all exercises. The CBCI 7.0 course mandates that facilitators usepre-determined code words or signalsto immediately and discreetly communicate the suspension of an exercise if a real threat to safety emerges. This protocol ensures that all participants receive a clear, consistent message to halt activities without causing panic or confusion. Gathering more details or calling a break delays decisive action and risks exposure. Continuing the exercise despite threats is unacceptable and breaches duty of care. Pre-established emergency communication protocols allow swift, safe responses that prioritize participant well-being above all else.
