Safety Training

Outdoor activities, adventure and learning by doing continues to remain at the core of what Scouting excels in and young people seek.

We strongly believe that success lies in enhancing the culture of safety, such as an awareness of risk and responsibilities, and the skills to assess and manage those risks by adults and young people.

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
