To help expand my knowledge of the ACO, I’m researching a different activity each month and using the opportunity to make a staff development guide as I go along.
About half way through each month, I’ll post the guide on the forums and people can point out inaccuracies and suggest improvements. You don’t need to sign in to anything to add a comment. Just highlight the relevant bit on the document, right-click on it and choose ‘Comment’. Other people can see, and reply to, your comments.
At the end of the month, the guide will be ‘locked’ until it is reviewed next year. Major developments may prompt an earlier review.
The level of depth I’m aiming for will be understood by staff new to the organization, and will also help experienced personnel keep up-to-date on developments in the field. Official policy will be referenced (not reproduced).
The fieldcraft guide will be finished around the end of this month, but a draft version will probably be published around the 20th for comments and amendments.
Both of these events will be announced on this thread
I think Heartstart takes slightly longer than 2 hours to do. I don’t have my instructor guide with me and we take longer than that anyway, but I thought the minimum was a bit longer.
