Safety management practices and procedures evolve over time. This course gives EVCs at all schools the opportunity to look into current material in more depth and share good practice with other EVCs.
The issues faced by School EVCs change over time and although EVC training does not formally lapse it is good practice for EVCs to ‘revalidate’ their award by attending update training. Many organisations include a three-year requirement for EVC revalidation.
