A Safe Space Training

There are four levels of training. All volunteers need to undertake A Safe Space training related to their role. For example, if your role requires up to level 3 then you will need to complete levels 1, 2 and 3.  For more details click here

Not only will you find here a list of requirements needed for your role, you will also be able to  see what you need to do to log on to the new Learning Platform to complete the courses online.

Please take a screen shot when you have completed the course as sometimes they don’t record properly on GO and then we can get it added manually.

These are organised and are run locally as well as through the regions and GGHQ. Please speak to our Learning & Development Co-ordinator or your Division Training Rep about booking onto a course or visit our Training Diary.
