Assessment firstScope before action
01

Location

Name the affected area precisely.

Record the room, wall, cabinet, exterior edge or shared area where the sign appeared without publishing private access details.

02

Timing

Write down when the activity appeared and whether it repeated.

Photographs

Use context images only when they are safe to take.

Keep guesses separate

Describe the sign instead of choosing the answer.
