When Helping Early Does Not Help Band 5s
OT conversations by Hao
Episode notes
“Complex cases often get passed upward quickly—in the name of safety, support, or efficiency.
But what if that very act is the reason our juniors never feel ready?
In this episode, we explore how early escalation removes scaffolded learning, weakens autonomy, and quietly reshapes entire services.
Because comfort is not competence—and complexity is the curriculum.”
