Facilitator's Role
 
Off - Line Review
 
  • Study and practice how to use every part of the website so that you can explain to anyone who needs help.
  • Stress that you are available as a source of information - but only when the teenagers ask for it.
  • DON'T listen in to discussions or give your own opinions.
  • DON'T gossip about anything you find out or are told.
  • Find out as much as possible about local organisations, new websites, print and video and other material that can help them with difficult issues.
  • Make sure that the atmosphere of the sessions is as informal as possible, so students feel free to talk.
  • Remind the group that everyone's ideas should be respected.
  • Remind the group that anything they are told by others is confidential.
  • Make sure that nobody is mocked or ridiculed - observe their faces and body language discreetly.
  • Check the bulletin board yourself - tell the group what you've found and encourage them to use it.
  • Encourage the group to ask you for help - be non-judgmental and supportive when this happens.
  • Fill in the feedback form and let us know how we can make the website more relevant for your situation.
