Event Support Volunteer 8
We are pleased to offer a new Get Fishing Event Support Volunteer Award.
- Wednesday 24th July 2024 6.30 pm – 9.30 pm
This is an online, tutor-led course lasting 3 hours. Most courses will be run in the early evening. They will be delivered by members of our coach education workforce and will cover the following topics:
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Understanding Risk Assessments and Managing Health and Safety
- Working as part of a team
- Understanding the Get Fishing Campaign and Supporting Interventions
- Practical Coaching Skills including activating, delivering and renewing sessions
- How to instruct and explain
- How to demonstrate
- How to give praise
- How to use open questions to support learning
- How to keep young people safe
- Identifying types of abuse and how to report concerns
The Event Support Volunteer Award course is designed to support those aged 16 and upwards who wish to offer voluntary help at Get Fishing Award events: it provides an introduction to step into coaching. (Please note that this course does not teach you how to fish, qualify you as a coach who can plan and lead angling activities, or provide Licensed Coach status or insurance.)
Places are free to the first 100 who take part, supported by funding from the Environment Agency rod licence income that is being reinvested to develop new anglers. To secure a place, you need to self-book via this website facility when a suitable event is displayed with spaces available.
Angling Trust staff will send various information by email, and your tutor will email you a link to join the Zoom session. Please check any spam/junk folders in case your mailbox settings should divert these messages.
Angling Trust will also arrange for you to undertake the category of Enhanced DBS check which is a requirement for your role as an Event Support Volunteer. Guidance for completing the two actions that you need to do will also come by email, but this will be separate from the instructions and Zoom link supplied by your tutor.
For details of further such events, please check the website: Coaching Centre staff WON’T KNOW schedules in advance but will make details public as soon as possible after receiving them.
