Mock Trial:

The Regulator commenced proceedings against the Council and the Operations Manager. The issues canvassed in the mock trial include traffic management, exclusion zones, risk assessments, inductions and contractor management. Questions are raised as to whether the Council and management responded appropriately after previous audits identified similar issues that culminated in the incident at hand.

Set in a courtroom environment, participants also gain an understanding of the types of questions witnesses may be asked in the courtroom and how a decision by a judge is likely to be reached based on the evidence and reasons why the case would be decided in a certain way.
