Who is the Minimising Harm poster for?
Minimising Harm belongs to the Communications & Media section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning media law & ethics can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Minimising Harm poster?
When the story is right to run and someone in it will be hurt by it. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Minimising Harm belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What size does the Minimising Harm poster print at?
Minimising Harm is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.

Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Minimising Harm loses nothing.Printing guide
