Workshops

 

Thank you to all those who had the time to complete the
SASSOT Education and Training Survey

We are currently analysing your responses and feedback received in the survey. 

As soon as this has been finalised, we will be in a position to organise the new Education and Training Programme for 2008-2009.

As always we do advise that as some sports have more stringent First Aid requirements for Clubmark and coaching purposes, all delegates should check with their NGB before enrolling on these workshops in order to avoid disappointment after the event.  

Workshops such as Safeguarding & Protecting Children, Equity in your Coaching and A Club for All, First Aid – will be on the programme.   There will also be new workshops available to book, in a response to the feedback received through the survey. 

Please be advised that in cases of cancellations, a 5 working day notice period is required.  Delegates can opt to change to another workshop or alternatively send another representative.

If you find that you cannot attend the workshops we have planned, contact Kam and she may be able to help you find alternatives.
