Prompt template

Design a repeatable fortnightly 1:1 agenda for a line manager and a {ROLE}. 4 sections: (1) how are you actually — 10 min, (2) what's progressing / stuck — 15 min, (3) what's coming — 10 min, (4) 1 thing you need from me — 5 min. Include 3 prompts under each section to unstick a conversation that's gone flat. Warm, plain.

Replace bracketed placeholders with real context. Never paste identifying details about children, health or safeguarding cases.
