Safe Space
A safe space has changed. Girlguiding UK has sent emails to every member.
If you’re an existing volunteer who has previously completed a safe space training, you only need to do the new course when your highest level of a safe space expires. So if you have a safe space levels 1 and 2, you’ll only need to do safer guiding once your level 2 expires.
Please check the details in the email.
For members Safer Guiding should be done.
Safer Guiding has taken over the Safe Space modules 1 -3. If you have safe space then you are valid until your highest module expires.
Safer Guiding is offered as an e-learning taking 3 hours which can be done in parts that suit you but will take in total about 3 hours. It can be found on the learning platform.
It can also be done through the webinar taking in total about 4 hours over 2x2hr sessions online. Booking is done through the learning platform.
The third way of doing it is face to face which will take at least 4 hours in total. This course will either be done at a weekend or over 2 evening sessions and will last at least 4 hours in total and organised as required.
