Open with real questions
Start by collecting the questions people actually came with. Build the session around those rather than a fixed lecture.
Teach one skill, not a survey of the law
A workshop where everyone leaves able to write a records request is worth more than one that covers ten topics shallowly.
Close with a next step
Everyone should leave with one concrete action and one place to go for follow-up support.
