As many coaches will be aware the BCU now require coaches to undertake Safeguard training. An online course is suitable for those not dealing with young people, but for any coaches with regular , or unsupervised access to youngsters then a classroom based course is required.
The local scouts are running such a course on the 23rd Feb in Plymstock. The course will run from 10:00am until mid afternoon, a packed lunch would be required but coffee is supplied.
Due to the sterling efforts of the club supporting local scouting they are willing to take some coaches FREE OF CHARGE, with the caviat that we provide a cake or two to have with the coffee. The course normally costs £35 so not a bad saving.
On completion of the course a certificate will be awarded and this is acceptable to the BCU as the Scouts course is recognised as one of the most thorough courses available.
If you are interested please post below so I can let the organiser know.
