STRUCTURE
The section has a brief write-up on issues followed by optional exercises.
Since the previous section dealt with issues regarding procedural and
legal clarity, the focus of this section is not merely <strong>for</strong> you to increase the
awareness of your participants, but to also develop greater sensitivity
amongst them towards the issue of AHT.
The section, then, emphasizes the important role your interactions with
the participants have in facilitating behavioral change.
This may not be immediately possible or may not be immediately reflected
at the end of your session (or during the defined course of the training)
with the participants; however you must raise a lot of issues, even if you
are not able to conclude or close all of them.
This module is there<strong>for</strong>e designed to enable your participants to question
their own assumptions, stereotypes, attitudes and behaviour.
Some of the <strong>for</strong>ms of behaviour, however, should be communicated by you as
‘zero tolerance’ standards of behaviour i.e. expected behaviour where even mild
deviation should not or will not be accepted.
