Today, Team Call Out members Paul Brain and Sam McKay attended at the kind invitation of Bolton Council, a day long course regarding Multi Agency Introduction to Civil Contingencies.
The course is held twice a year and a number of Bolton Mountain Rescue have attended the course over the years.
Held at the Education Centre at Royal Bolton Hospital, Bolton, the course attracted many participants from the statutory and voluntary emergency sector and agencies, including very knowledgeable course facilitators and session presenters.
The course objectives included:
- To understand the context and implications of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and the statutory duties it places on Category 1 and 2 responders.
- To become familiar with the role of all agencies involved in planning, preparing for and responding to emergencies.
- To share knowledge and understanding with other local agencies.
- To learn from previous experiences of responding to emergencies.
The team would like to thank the Civil Contingencies Unit of Bolton Council for yet again very kindly providing us with placements on this valuable and topical course.
