SUMMARY:7-8 Oct 2020 RLSS NWSMP Training & Assessment (by Gary Evans Outdoors)
DESCRIPTION:This RLSS National Water Safety Management Programme (NWSMP) Award is predominantly aimed at those working in\, or close to\, water in outdoor environments and is particularly suitable for Outdoor Instructors and Assistants. \nThere are three levels to the award: \nLevel 1 – Water Safety Awareness \nLevel 2 – Beach\, River\, Still Water \nLevel 3 – In Water Rescue \nThe programme starts with Level 1\, the Water Safety Awareness Module\, which provides the theoretical platform for more advanced modules. Environment Specific Modules cover hazards associated with beach\, river and still water as well as basic rescue techniques. The In-Water Rescue Module covers essential in-water rescue knowledge and tests competence. \nEndorsed by the Health and Safety Executive for its sensible\, proportionate\, reasonable and balanced advice to both those responsible for groups around the water margin or workers operating in\, on or near water and in particular\, managing the risk from operating around the water margin. The NWSMP awards are the most pragmatic solution for outdoor professionals working in coastal\, river and water’s edge environments. It will complement your existing qualifications and will give you concrete evidence of your competencies to manage groups in and around water. \nVenue – South Wales \nPrice – £195 per person. \nMore Information – https://www.garyevansoutdoors.co.uk/rlss-nwsmp

SUMMARY:POSTPONED 1 Oct 2020 Caving and Covid-19: A Practical Workshop for Providers and Instructors to Share Good Practice
DESCRIPTION:***Postponed due to Covid-19 Lock-downs*** \n!! NB this workshop will now take place 6-9pm (not 9.30am-1pm as previously advertised) !! \nThis is a Practical Workshop\, based at Porth yr Ogof\, providing an opportunity for Providers and Instructors to explore experiences\, lessons and ‘good practice’ relating to caving and Covid-19. \nWith some Providers and Instructors having re-commenced activities since lockdown – and others still planning how best to do so – SWOAPG is keen to provide opportunities for you to share your experiences and help to develop and promote ‘good practice’ for operating in the new and unfamiliar environment of social distancing etc. We are therefore organising a series of workshops for this purpose. \nThe workshop will be hosted for SWOAPG by Steffan Davies of Hawk Adventures: his role will be to oversee safety and facilitate sharing between participants\, rather than to deliver training or tell anyone how to do things\, although he’ll obviously bring ideas to the table too! \nParticipants will need to bring all the personal equipment they need for an evening in the cave (cave suit\, helmet\, lamp\, wellies; change of clothes\, drinks / snacks\, hand sanitiser etc.). \nMeet at 6pm at Cwm Porth car park. \nParticipants will be asked to complete a Hawk Adventures consent / information form\, which they will be sent in advance of the event. \nMaximum 10 participants – Bookings available soon (once we have confirmed that the workshop is definitely running)!

SUMMARY:19 Aug 2020 Gorge Users' Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Now that Providers have re-commenced using the gorges in Waterfall Country\, SWOAPG wishes to take the opportunity to review and share experiences and ‘good practice’ around the precautions that Providers are taking to prevent the transmission of Covid-19 in gorge-walking and canyoning activities. \nThis 2-hour\, interactive Zoom workshop will enable Providers to share: \n\nthe latest updates on gorge access;\nour understanding of the key requirements for preventing transmission – including Welsh Government regulations; the “We’re Good to Go” scheme; and WATO guidelines for Safe Delivery of Gorge Walking and Canyoning post COVID -19;\nspecific concerns about what these mean in the gorge environment; and\nsuggestions for ‘good practice’ in managing clients and equipment; using the car parks\, toilets and changing areas; and maintaining social distancing in the gorges.\n\nWe will probably focus first on the Sychryd gorge\, since this is used more frequently by most Providers\, but will also consider the Upper Mellte if we have time. \nPlease RSVP (using the button on the website event listing; or by e-mail) to register your interest (Members who have registered their interest will receive the Zoom link in due course – please contact us if you have not received this before the event).
