Scottish Outdoor Access Code Training Workshops November 8, 2007

It’s great to see lots of marketing coming out for the Access Code training workshops.
There are some great draft resources at the SOAC website which will help with teaching young people understand the access code. The workshops look like they will be worthwhile, however I note there is not one south of Dundee. IOL have made contact through the blog so I have offered to provide a venue for a training workshop at Innerwick Outdoor Centre. We could host the training around the end of Jan. or Beginning of December. Just have to wait and see how many people show interest so we can get a date confirmed.
Its worth a look at the SOAC site as they have some draft materials for teaching the code to young people. I think it is important now to embed the access code in outdoor learning opportunities in Scotland and its good to see IOL and SH take the lead in doing this and producing resources.
Thanks for getting in touch Peter (IOL)

I would do my best to get along to one at Innerwick, and it would be pretty useful for our DofEs at Ross.

I will let you know once we have conformation of a date. I agree it would be very useful for staff involved in D of E in all the High Schools.
Hi Bill,
This sounds great, I will cetainly promote the opportunity to Award leaders. Is it something that perhaps gold, and silver participants could get involved in, both as part of their expedition training but also to perhaps assist their Award groups with bronze expedition training?
Also, if you need more demand for this to go ahead, would you be interested in promoting the opportunity to Award Leaders/ expedition trainers in Edinburgh through the EAGLE club? (Edinburgh Award Group Leaders of Expeditions). Let me know if I can help with this in any way.

Thanks Geors. We will definitley notify you when this happens. I’m just waiting to here back from Midlothian/Borders.
Hi Bill
I would certainly be interested in finding out more about the outdoor access code training. I work with CHANGES community health project and we offer 2 x 10 weeks programmes of walks in the Musselburgh and Haddington area for adults with mental health concerns. We are also in touch with groups of walkers who are now operating as self-led. Could you keep me up-to-date with dates for the course and I will pass on the information to those I’m in contact with. Cheers Diann
OK Diann, I will let you know soonest.Thanks for the post.
Thanks for the good days First Aid training today. I’m on my 5th or 6th revalidation now and it makes a huge difference to have a really practical course and be able to share and practise new and old skills.
I would be keen to attend an outdoor access workshop if you are able to organise one for East Lothian.
OK I will let you know when it will happen.Thanks for all your input on the first aid course.
