Before the event
In this fictional example, a moderator begins by reviewing the community guidelines and checking that colleagues know their responsibilities. Preparation helps the team respond consistently when conversations become busy.
After the final whistle
The team reviews the discussion, records recurring questions and identifies confusing guidance. A short debrief creates space to improve the next event without sharing private information.
- Check the reporting route before discussions begin.
- Agree who will handle questions and escalations.
- Review the experience with the wider team.
