• • Elaboration communicating design ideas using annotated diagrams, for example labelling a diagram for a pushcart with technical terms and explanations about components such as the chassis, axle, wheels and steering
• • Elaboration generating design ideas for solutions using Safety by Design principles, for example designing communication that is accessible for all parents and carers
