Description
Induction Training
The second element of the GBS Induction training consists of four 60-90 minute Zoom Training Sessions which incorporate Child Protection Training, GBS Roles and Responsibilities, Faith, Equity and Inclusion and GBS in the Youth Work Sector. Induction courses are available 3 times per year. The admin cost for this course is £7.50 per Trainee Leader and must be paid prior to attending the course.
All Trainees who wish to work in Company for more than 6 weeks per GB session are required to complete this second training element and have a period of 6 months from receipt of their RM1 Approval Letter and GBS name badge to complete this.
To register, trainees must have first completed the online Induction Training modules via Moodle and have submitted a completed RM1 form with PVG information to the Membership Services Coordinator. Please note that in order to complete this course all registered trainees must attend all 4 Zoom sessions in full although an exception may be made in certain circumstances which will allow trainees to miss and catch up on one of the four sessions only.
Registrations should be sent to Michelle Grant – michelle.grant@girls-brigade-scotland.org.uk
Any trainee who misses more than one session in a particular block will be asked to transfer to a future set of training dates and will be required to repeat any sessions already attended. This may also affect the 6-month grace period permitted for working in company while waiting to complete the course so please ensure you are available on all four dates before registering.
Gold Leadership Training
If Trainee Leaders have completed the online and Zoom elements of the Induction Level Training at least 6 months prior to the Gold Leadership Course dates they are eligible to register and will require to submit a supporting statement from their Captain or Leader in Charge.
The closing dates for registrations are noted below.
Registrations should be sent to Michelle Grant – michelle.grant@girls-brigade-scotland.org.uk
The admin cost for this course is £10 per Trainee to be paid by your Company prior to attending. (Details of how to pay are included on the Gold Leadership Training registration form.)
Trainee Leaders will complete 6 modules via Zoom and will be asked to complete the 7th module at home. They will also be required to do additional assignments during the course and after the online sessions to complete their training. These are called post-course tasks and Trainees will have one year to complete these following the last training session. Trainees can miss one session and a video recording will be supplied but they may also have to complete a piece of work relating to the session. Any trainee who misses more than one session in a particular block will be asked to transfer to a future set of training dates and will be required to repeat any sessions already attended.
Trainees who register must be willing to participate in group discussions and have their cameras switched on at all times.
We look forward to welcoming you to this year’s Gold Leadership Training courses where we have a full team of contributors to guide you through the process.
