Generic Risk Assessments

Why don’t Wing’s deploy their HSO for the purpose of completing the infra items like B&S RA, FRA etc. This is an independant person who is a volunteer, so no worries around timeframes as they can visit a unit at least annually

Because they are a volunteer they don’t have too - it’s getting very hard these days to

• to find people willing to volunteer to do the role
• Get people who have volunteered to do the role to actually do it.

To be honest, a risk assessment course should just be standard practice for initial training courses for staff, then used when they’re taught how to use our systems.

If you are delivering anything, you should understand how RAs work, if only to ensure you’re operating within them. By that point, we might as well just train you in them properly so we can trust that you can update a bone one with confidence.

This was suggest back in 2007/8 for both new CIs & new Plt Off (basically a list of training modules that would standardise knowledge & experience so MOI, first aid, WHT)

it upset a few empires so it didn’t happen basically

Interestingly having just done a French “First aid course”, the first 5 hours was spent looking at risk management type stuff and the laws, rather than any first aid. And that risk management angle was kept throughout the 2 days including doing proper post-incident mitigations and reports.

This is a real shame because, generally, this is exactly what we need.

I’d liken it to a standardised Ph1, Ph2, Ph3 process where we understand exactly what everyone’s common youth leader SQEP is.

I didn’t really rate my UCC. I felt we could have really kicked the backside out of some serious and practical training. But I’m conscious I never did the CIC, but I don’t get the impression that would have plugged the gaps I’ve experienced.

I agree no one has to, but this could be added to the ToRs for a Wing HSO. CFAV then have a choice to do the role or not. It is no different to becoming the Wing Shooting officer etc, although I appreciate not as glamorous! People who have an interest will apply.

I took on the role of OC knowing full well what was expected of me. I didn’t have to do it, I chose it and I am glad I did.

There use to be a lot more practical bits on the initial officers course before they combined it.

I found my UCC really useful & interesting but that’s maybe because my expectations was of a standisation course & developing personal leadership “tool kits” - others on the course were expecting to be a bit more spoonfed.

I think it’s the culture of “let’s do the bare minimum” versus “let’s do what we need to enable people”
