Date(s): 3rd May 2020
Time(s): 9am-5pm

Location: Local Venues such as the Lido, Yately and the Canal will be used throughout the day.

Description:
The Southern Regional Development Team are looking at how they might run a coaching update directly with clubs. Blackwater Valley Canoe Club have been provided an opportunity to try it out. The day will count as an official coaching update for all coaches, but also welcomes those volunteers who coach but don’t hold formal qualifications too.
Whilst this list isn’t finalised, the sorts of things covered could include things such as:
- Current Risk Assessments
- Standard Operating Procedures for regular club activities
- Group briefings
- Site specific operation (local weir, back waters and main river)
- Specific craft refresher (SUP, Kayak, Canoes), including Safety Skills and Rescues
- How to report a Safeguarding concern or an incident/ near miss
- Storage of equipment and how to report defects
We will have an opportunity to review the list above and tweak elements that are suited to our current requirements for coaches.
