FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the Adventure Activity Leadership Register?

It's an electronic database of NYCC staff who hold leadership qualifications in outdoor activities (hillwalking, canoeing, climbing etc.) Any member of staff who leads groups in such activities must be registered and copies of their qualifications kept centrally.

Who needs to be registered?

Only staff who are actually leading outdoor activities need to be registered (as opposed to accompanying a group at a licensed centre, such as East Barnby, where their staff are leading the activities). Only leadership qualifications are relevant, not personal awards.

How do I register?

Registration is a very quick & simple process

• Download the registration form complete all the sections, and make sure you and your EVC both sign it (if you are the school's EVC, the Headteacher should sign your form).
• Your EVC needs to see your original certificates, photocopy them and sign the copies. Only copies that have been signed by your EVC will be entered into the system. Please don't post us your original certificates.
• Post your registration form and signed photocopies to: Kirsty Hannam, c/o Bewerley Park Centre, Bewerley, Nr. Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire, HG3 5JB.
