CAS practice: Use CAS stages to plan purposeful action

A student is using the CAS stages for "leading a beach-accessibility audit for a youth council submission" after hearing that the council wanted young people to report barriers at public spaces. Choose the route that moves through investigation, preparation, action, review, reflection, and demonstration responsibly. Select the investigation stage, preparation stage, action and review stage, and demonstration check. Then answer this in your own words: why would this route keep the CAS evidence and reflection authentic? AI will analyse your reasoning, evidence, reflection quality, and expression.

Worked practice: build the reflection

Work through the CAS task: purpose focus, specific evidence, the CAS move, then a bounded reflection.
