The course will help participants to: - Identify the key elements in the preparation phase of a holiday, including BB regulations and child protection procedures.

Understand and meet the needs of children and young people away from home. Contribute to positive working relationships with adult colleagues. Understand what underlies disagreements and conflict.

This course is a recognised form for RENEWAL for those who are seeking their 5-year refresher for Holiday Leadership, if they have not taken an active role on a holiday. Otherwise completing log sheets of roles taken during a holiday can do for a renewal. Log sheets are obtained from BBHQ Felden.
