Nights Away reminders

As we head into the summer camping season, a few reminders…

  • All Nights Away need approved through a NAN form

  • Please use the latest version of the form – here

  • Send the completed form to Del Jarvis (permits@graveshamscouts.org.uk) and Fraser Patrick (lead@graveshamscouts.org.uk) along with the risk assessment for the event

  • Please send at least seven days before your Night Away event.  If some details change you can always send an update. 

  • Remember as well as a programme, budget and menu you need to think about your contingency plan (if this happens… we will do this) and confirm that you have one

  • If your contingency is different activities, include these on your risk assessment

  • List out all adults attending, who must all have a DBS (and thus a membership number)

  • Ensure all adults (apart from OH) have completed and are up to date with Safety and Safeguarding

  • Make sure you have thought about and documented on the NAN form your in-touch process – how will you contact parents if necessary and how will they contact you.  There is guidance here

And have fun, stay safe, if you have any problems please get in touch – and if you want to apply for a Nights Away Permit talk to Del sooner rather than later.
