une chance / opportunité de réagir / corriger le problème


Explanation:
Je pense qu'il manque du texte,

"a fair opportunity to", c'est la construction plus courante.

"fair opportunity to correct their behaviour / to improve"

"Opportunity" entraîne donc forcément "to so something", "fair opportunity" est donc un genre de "shorthand" pour expliquer qqch de plus long.
D'accord avec Piotr.
