     "- Review the pre-existing course materials and notify programme management if there are any concerns with these. The workshop lead is not expected to create course materials; this is handled by a different role. Similarly, the workshop lead should not revise the materials without first consulting the programme management. \n",
+    "- Familiarise yourself with the learning objectives for the session and plan to deliver the workshop in a way that ensures these are met to the best of your ability. The priority is achieving the intent behind the objectives rather than covering every single piece of content or activity.\n",
