Information for Leaders

Learning and Development

Leaders in action

Part of Girlguiding UK's vision is to ensure that we have trained Leaders who can deliver the programme to our girls and young women.Here in Cumbria South, there are many opportunities for adult Leaders to try new skills, brush up on their knowledge of the section they work with, get new ideas and of course get to know other Leaders within the county!
Trainings are open to Senior Section members, Adult Leaders, Commissioners Advisers and Unit Helpers.
To find out more about trainings taking place and download application forms, please look at the calendar.

Information about the Leadership Qualification

If you are working through your Leadership qualification, or are a Mentor,please make a note of the trainings which you think will be useful to you.
All Leaders need to gain a Full 1st Response (or hold an equivalent First Aid Certificate), attend a Safe From Harm, Accounts and Section Training (or a "Glad you could join us evening").
To keep your skills and knowledge up to date, it is good practice that Leaders renew their First Response every 3 years.
Updates relating to planned trainings and confirmation of venues, can be found in the Curlew Calendar which is in the quarterly Newsletter.

Remember the Guiding Development and Adult Support team and the County Advisers are all here to offer you help and support and will be pleased to help sort out a problem or answer a query you have.
You can contact your Division rep for Guiding Development queries or contact the Advisers directly for queries relating to residential licences or help with the programme for the section you work with, their details are in the County Directory.

If you have any training needs or any suggestions for future trainings please do not hesitate to contact either J Myers or K Coid at guidingdev@girlguidingcumbriasouth.org.uk
