The training took a very similar path to the last one - the Leaders really seem to enjoy the risk assessment part of the training. Not a single person was aware of the red emergency pack - I sent them all away to ask the unit leader to see the copy for the unit. Looks like a mail out at Christmas really wasn't efficient!
I didn't bother to get the projector again but relied on a few of the power point slides laminated and I think that is actually better as the most important aspect is the facilitation for discussion and providing the opportunity for the (very young) leaders to feel comfortable asking questions. This time folk wanted to know about guides becoming Pack Leaders at brownies - the suggested length of time is a year gap if they are returning to their old brownie unit. Can't remember how we got onto that topic.
Even starting at 6.30pm we overran and I didn't get home until after 10pm (I was only 15 miles away) but I was very impressed with the level of participation and genuine concern to d the right thing for our members. There were a few out of the 13 who only needed this training, in fact some had had their LQ book returned - yet I was surprised how little those present knew about established practices and processes of GG UK. I was left wondering do we need to put more efforts into getting the more experienced Leaders trained up? More importantly should we be spreading the message about using the unit team especially the enthusiastic ones?
Don't know when my next Safe Space training is as I haven't got one booked. Found a load of Safe from Harm resources this weekend for throwing away - it's actually not all that different, got to move with the times.
Tell me an organisation that can teach fab origami skills - why can't we line up the safe space leaflet for printing and folding so its readable?
