What comes after Spotting in the staircase order?

• A. Trust Sequence
• B. Low Elements
• C. Stretching
• D. Process

Answer: (A)

Spotting is the hands-on safety support you provide as a guide. In a staircase-style safety progression, the next essential step is establishing a Trust Sequence. This focus on clear communication, consistent cues, and agreed signals creates a safe space where both you and the participant know exactly how help will be given and when. Building that trust and alignment upfront makes it practical and safer to tackle the upcoming tasks.

Once that trust is in place, you can move into the actual activities with confidence. Stretching and warm-ups are prep activities, and Low Elements are the initial skills or challenges, but they depend on the participant and guide having a reliable safety framework first. The term Process is too general to be the immediate next step in this sequence.
