This quiz is sending people back

66% pass it - under the 75% this console treats as healthy - averaging 72% across 261 attempts. Before rewriting the lecture, read the four questions below: when the lectures either side of one are fine, the problem is usually a question that is ambiguous rather than material that is hard.

Questions

The correct answer and its explanation are shown together here so you can check them at a glance - neither is ever shown to a learner attempting the quiz, right or wrong.

  1. 1. What should happen after a consultation surfaces an exclusion finding?

    • Nothing, until the next full review
    • A visible response, even if partialCorrect
    • The finding should be removed from the report
    • A new consultation should be held immediately

    A community that raises an issue and sees no visible response learns not to raise it again. The response does not need to be complete, but it needs to be visible.

  2. 2. Why does a GSI lens have to be applied from the first consultation, not added afterward?

    • It is a legal requirement
    • A GSI annex added after a plan is written rarely changes what the plan doesCorrect
    • It reduces the cost of the plan
    • It is faster to do afterward

    Mainstreaming succeeds or fails at specific decision points made early on; adding a review chapter at the end changes very little about what the plan actually does.

  3. 3. Which of these is a meaningful GSI indicator?

    • Number of women who attended a meeting
    • Change in who holds a decision-making role after an interventionCorrect
    • Number of leaflets distributed
    • Number of consultations held

    Attendance measures who showed up, not whether anything changed. A meaningful indicator tracks a real shift - access, role or resource control.

  4. 4. Why is a single, centrally held public meeting often exclusionary?

    • It is too expensive to organise
    • It assumes the attendee is free at that time and placeCorrect
    • It requires too much paperwork
    • It reduces attendance overall

    A weekday afternoon meeting at a district office assumes the attendee does not have paid or unpaid care responsibilities at that hour - an unexamined assumption, not a deliberate exclusion.

Written questions

Optional - a lecture is complete without any. Add two-to-three sentence explanation questions where the multiple-choice quiz cannot tell whether an idea actually landed - as soon as one exists, a learner must pass it at 70%, the same platform-wide mark as the quiz, before the next lecture opens.

71% pass at the first attempt. The keywords checked are shown below each question - a low pass rate here usually means the required words are stricter than the explanation actually needs, not that the answers are wrong.

  1. 1. In two or three sentences: why is a single, centrally held public meeting often exclusionary?

    assumtimeaccesscare

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: A single meeting at a fixed time and place assumes the attendee is free then and can travel there, which is an unexamined assumption rather than a deliberate choice. It quietly excludes anyone with paid or unpaid care responsibilities, or without transport, at that hour.

  2. 2. In two or three sentences: what makes a consultation format genuinely inclusive rather than just larger?

    barrierformatdifferentreach

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: A genuinely inclusive consultation removes the specific barriers - time, place, language, format - that stop a particular group from taking part, rather than simply inviting more people to the same format. Reaching a wider group usually means running more than one format, not one bigger meeting.

  3. 3. In two or three sentences: why should a consultation plan name who is expected NOT to attend before it is run?

    identifybeforedesignexclude

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: Naming who is likely to be missed before the consultation is designed turns exclusion into something the plan can address - a different time, a home visit, a translated format. Discovering it afterwards only explains a result that could have been prevented.
