Using practical skills with children is a great way to help children develop confidence, independence, and get them out into nature. However, using tools, fires and other practical skills requires the leader to fully understand not just how to use these skills themselves but how to teach them safely to children.
If you are a Scout leader, youth group worker or outdoor educator, you will understand the importance of keeping your skills up to date, and making sure the correct risk assessments and policies are in place.
Our one day CPD course is designed to build confidence in your practical skills and ability to use them with children of any age. You will understand how and why these skills are important and also the process of risk benefit assessment.
Our course is available for group bookings of between 4-8 adults, covering the following topics:
- Why is risk important?
- Risk benefit assessment
- Tool use with children
- Tool maintenance
- Knots and shelters
- Fires with a group
- Cooking on a fire
Our course can be adapted to your groups requirements, and is suitable for those without prior experience in practical skills, or those wanting to recap their skills.
