9. Next Steps
SLSGB will train a small group of Patrol Captains to enable a controlled pilot of not more than 6 clubs just in the Cornwall Region to be able to declare to HMCG Level 3 and 4 Patrols (Require a Patrol Captain)
All patrols that require First Aid support (2,3,4 and 5) will require those involved to be accredited users of the “NUDGE” card system. This will be a new supplementary unit delivered by TA’s who will need CPD for this award – will eventually be added to all First Aid qualifications.

10. Level 1 Patrol Volunteers will need to be trained
Level 1 Patrol Volunteers will need to be trained. This will be a new award delivered by TA’s requiring TA’s to be trained to deliver the award.
All Clubs wishing to Patrol enter into a new patrolling agreement with SLSGB that in turn will provide the capability to declare to HMCG. This will require an SLSGB managed audit of both equipment and people.
Patrol capability will be specific to resources available but can be amended as circumstances change.
There will be an annual review to renew for the following year

11. More About Declaration to HMCG
HMCG recognised Patrols accredited to patrol by SLSGB. This will be established by a SLSGB/HMCG Register.
The Framework sets out the capability of a Patrol for the HMCG Operations Controller.
Clubs will commence and cease a Patrol formally by direct communication with HMCG Operations ( Log on - Log off)
When a patrol is deployed it is controlled by HMCG Operations
Patrols are an approved SLSGB activity for the purposes of insurance but cover is limited to existing policy levels

12. Time Scale Declaration of Interest by Clubs – Open Now
Initial Patrol Accreditations Level 1 and 2 only:-
Audit and Agreement – Commence March
Declaration to HMCG – Commence April
Training of “Pilot” Patrol Captains – Completed by end March
(Initially available to the selected Pilot Clubs)
New Level 1 and “NUDGE” awards:-
Awards Finalised – End Feb
TA CPD – Commence March
Club Training Commence March
