Ongoing safety training
Due to a clash with a district event, this course has been postponed.
When does this course run?
Please arrive from 7pm (tea/coffee available) to register in time for a 7:15pm start. The course will finish by 9pm.
Who is this training for?
This training module is for all those required to complete ongoing safety training (all those subject to an appointment review), and all Executive Committee members (charity trustees). It also does not apply to Occasional Helpers, who are not not Members, and therefore not required to undertake any training.
Ongoing safety training needs to be completed at least every five years.
New volunteers should complete the relevant modules from the adult training scheme instead, then complete this course towards the end of the next 5 years. The relevant modules, depending on role, are:
- Essential Information for Executive Committee Members (Module 1EX)
- Essential Information (Module 1) for all other volunteers
- Running Safe Activities (Module 17) for those in leadership roles
- Safety for Managers and Supporters (currently only available as a workbook) for Commissioner roles
What is covered?
Aim
To revisit the rules, guidance and responsibilities related to safety in Scouting.
Objectives
By the end of the training participants will have:
- Revisited The Scout Association’s Safety Policy and their specific responsibilities within it.
- Revisited the five steps to risk assessment and demonstrated their continued understanding of hazard, risk and dynamic risk assessment.
- Demonstrated their continued understanding of the role of a leader in charge.
- Refreshed their knowledge of the range of support and resources available to help them carry out their responsibilities in relation to safety, including POR and activity rules.
- Revisited the reporting of near misses and of minor and serious injuries, including what to do in an emergency.
Do I need to validate anything afterwards?
No, there is no validation required for this course. We will issue you an electronic certificate of completion following the course, and update your mandatory ongoing learning record on Compass.
What about e-learning?
Best practice suggests that those completing e-learning for one appointment review may benefit from using an alternative method for the following one.
