Assessor and Nights Away Adviser Workshops

To help support Nights Away Advisers and County Activity Assessors in their role, the National Activities Team are running a number of Activity Assessor and NAA workshops. These days are designed to provide updates and support to Assessors and NAAs in carrying out assessments for Adventurous Activity and Nights Away Permits, as well as providing opportunities for peer support and networking.

Each day will include:

  • Updates and training in the permit scheme and the role of the Assessor / NAA within it
  • Updates and training in the skills of assessment
  • Practical opportunities to try out assessing techniques
  • An opportunity to have any questions answered
  • An opportunity to make contact and discuss issues and ideas with other assessors / NAAs from around the country.
These workshops also act as the ongoing learning that is a requirement of both assessor and NAA roles.

Each forum will cost £10, run from 10:00 until 17:00 and include refreshments (not lunch). To secure your place simply return a completed booking form and a cheque for £10 to the Activities Office at least a month before the event.

Regional Activity Assessor and Nights Away Adviser Workshops

To ensure their Assessors and Nights Away Advisers are supported in their role many Regions and Counties are looking to run their own workshops for them. To help support this the National Activities Team has formed a Project Team. The members of this team are available to work with Regions and Counties in putting together the content and programme for these workshops, and in finding presenters and facilitators to help on the day.

If you are looking to run a workshop and would like to use this support then please contact the Activities Office at activities@scout.org.uk and we will try and find a project team member who is available to support you.

This is a list of all the Assessor Workshops being run by Counties and Regions that we are aware of. If you would like to attend any of these then please contact the organisers directly.

Please contact the Activities office activities@scout.org.uk at Gilwell Park if you would like to have a Assessor Forum added to this page.
