The scheme requires all those wishing / delegated to be Nights Away Advisors / Assessors to have undertaken Module 25 of Adult Training [Assessing Learning] and to have completed a Nights Away Advisors/ Assessors course. Dates for theses County led courses have now been set and should be completed by 15th May. It is hoped that Assessments can start soon after the completed courses as we do not wish for any section not to enjoy a Nights Away experience. The assessment will take the part of an informal chat ensuring that the applicant understands the Scheme and has read the related factsheets. This chat might well include your Group Scout Leader as ultimately they are responsible for standards within your group. Our thanks go to all who have applied for a permit and advise that we will be contacting you shortly. Yours in Scouting The Nights Away Team —————————————————————— NIGHTS AWAY PERMIT SCHEME
Hopefully by now you are aware that Headquarters have recently undertaken a review of the above mentioned scheme and have made various recommendations. The main recommendations affecting District permit holders are as follows; 1. The Nights Away Assessor can only recommend permits up to there own permit level. 2. The Nights Away Permit is reviewed separately from the applicants’ warrant/appointment review [This is not currently the case within District]. 3. Nights Away Permits are not section specific With the above points in mind all Nights Away Permits currently issued by District will [From January 2008] be up for renewal. It is hoped that the issuing of new permits, as well as new assessments, will take place in March. Your permit is still valid if you have planned camps/sleepovers. It is the assessors recommendation that all applicants familiarise themselves with the permit scheme and have below listed Fact Sheets that may prove useful. It is also recommended that applicants have been a camp leader [within the last 4 years] up to the level of the permit that they are applying for. Yours in Scouting The Nights Away Assessors FACT SHEET RECOMMENDATIONS; (Click on the relevant fact sheet) POR 9.55 TO 9.63 apply for ALL Nights Away Events NIGHTS AWAY form (NAN) - update Reminder - That all nights away either outdoor or indoor must have a suitable Nights Away Notification (NAN) form sent to the District Commisioner, Kevin McGlone 7 days before they leave for there camp/event.Download here the new version of the NAN form which can be completed and emailed direct before the event. —————————————————————— |
