Forthcoming Event

Newswire – RoSPA: Keeping school trips on the agenda in Scotland is a key priority for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents and the safety charity has launched a new series of bespoke workshops to provide teachers with the skills & knowledge to run safe & exciting trips.
 
RoSPA Scotland hopes that the workshops, to be run within organisations, will help teachers to overcome their fears about taking children out of school and give them the confidence to plan & risk assess school trips effectively. If you would like to organise a workshop for your organisation, please contact Jennifer Fergusson, RoSPA Scotland’s tele-business delivery & administration co-ordinator.
