Frequently Asked Questions

Can I attend both Workshops?

Absolutely. However, if you are part of a larger school/organisation, we recommend you discuss with colleagues how you’ll benefit most by selecting attendees based on the descriptions above.

If my organisation already has a crisis response plan & system, are these workshops still relevant to us?

Yes, definitely! These workshops aim to enhance individual and organisational capability, and provide you with contemporary approaches to enhance your internal systems to recognise, react and recover from serious and critical incidents.

Will these Workshops be relevant for my organisational context?

Yes. The presenters have significant expertise and experience in the outdoor education/recreation, school sports and international trips/tours context.

If critical incidents are so rare, why train for them now?

Research shows that 85% of us will experience a cognitive deficit in our response to a critical incident. This data, coupled with the reality that it is not solely the incident itself that will determine the short, medium and long term outcomes of serious and critical incidents. It is how those involved – the people directly impacted, as well as those situated at the peripheral of organisations (staff/ families/ other clients/funders etc), and the wider public – feel they have been supported and cared for. In short, to optimally care for all those impacted in a critical incident, the organisation must have adequately planned well before it happens.
