Remote supervision scenarios

The workshop is for those who remotely supervise groups in the British hills, mountains and rural environments. Most of the scenarios used are based around Duke of Edinburgh expeditions but the workshop is also relevant to other groups which are remotely supervised. It is suitable for supervisors and leaders who are beginning to remotely supervise groups but also those who already have experience and wish to share their know and gain more insight. The workshop would be highly interactive and based around discussions, scenarios and map exercises. All participants would receive summary workshop notes in advance, so they can make their own notes easily throughout the workshop.

The workshop would run from 10am to 4pm and will be based indoors.

Why indoors? I believe that 90% of effective remote supervision is done through good planning. A supervisor needs to know that types of supervision and when their advantages and disadvantages. They need to be able to identify hazards, know their personal strengths and limitations as well as understanding how group experience and dynamics and the impact of different types of supervision on a group as well as the environment including terrain, weather and access, all being factors in where a supervisor should plan to be and how they should be supervising a group. In short, it's all in the planning!
