Before you respond
- What can you realistically take on?
- Who do you need to check with before you start?
- When will you talk about how it went?
Work through it
- Offer to do one specific thing you can follow through on.
- Agree on who’s doing it and what needs checking first.
- Agree on when you’ll report back and how.
Consider a possible response
“I can check that with the person responsible and bring back what I find out. When should we go through it together?”
This is one way to respond. Adapt it to your group, your responsibilities and the people involved.
