Make it safe to raise a concern

One-minute script

People often notice trouble before a formal measure does. Early warnings help only when everyone knows how to raise a concern and expects it to receive a fair response.

Try this

Name a reporting path and the person responsible for responding without retaliation.

Ask together

How can someone pause this work safely?

Facilitator notes

Do not ask participants to disclose a live concern in the meeting. Make the reporting path available afterward and explain what response they can expect.

Source notes

The NIST AI RMF Core calls for feedback processes, incident reporting, communication, and mechanisms through which users and affected communities can report problems.
