For which scenarios is informal resolution appropriate?

• A. For minor issues that do not jeopardize safety and well-being
• B. Only after formal proceedings
• C. When there is no evidence
• D. Only with court approval

Answer: (A)

Informal resolution is used when an issue is minor and does not threaten anyone’s safety or well-being. In those cases, teams can address concerns quickly through a collaborative, non-adversarial conversation, make any small corrective steps, and put measures in place to prevent recurrence without going through a formal investigation or discipline. Because the risk is limited, this approach keeps the process efficient, supports trust, and focuses on restoration rather than punishment.

This is why the scenario described—handling a minor concern that doesn’t jeopardize safety—fits best. It isn’t about waiting for formal proceedings or requiring a court process, and it doesn’t hinge on there being no evidence. Issues with some evidence can still be resolved informally if they’re minor and pose low risk; more serious or ongoing safety concerns would typically require formal action.
