Network Meet-Ups
Catch up and share experiences with other people involved or interested in rural touring. Our team will be on hand to answer any questions. Our network meet-ups are FREE for members (Memberships starts from £20 per year). On occasion, they may be a more focused affair; a lab for up-skilling our members or a workshop on a particular theme. If you’re not a member yet and interested in coming along, get in touch.
Each month the Network Meet-Up will follow a rough agenda as follows.
Welcome and Member Catch up – This is your opportunity to share any relevant recent news or put out any calls outs to fellow members.
Member Lab – An Opportunity for you to reach out to the team for help finding something, someone or somewhere to assist your practice / work. We will signpost / connect / guide where we can!
Monthly Focus – We will guide a chat around a specific topic each month. Check our social media / webpage for what this month’s topic is!

REGISTER USING FORM BELOW
Join us for an extended Network Meet-Up and learn all you need to know about safeguarding for the Scottish voluntary sector.
In this three hour course you will learn about the regulatory requirements for safeguarding and good practice in proactively preventing harm, building a positive safeguarding culture and responding well to concerns. Practical and applied in nature, we will use a range of interactive techniques to build your confidence to make a positive change for everyone engaged in your work.
Participants will leave the session:
- with an understanding of safeguarding in relation to the voluntary sector
- with knowledge of key regulatory requirements and where to learn more
- having considered how to build a positive safeguarding culture in your organisation, including the role of policies and procedures
- having reflected on responding to harm and offering proportionate responses
This course is geared toward those working or leading voluntary organisations and charities with responsibility for safeguarding. You may be a safeguarding lead, senior manager or trustee. The course is designed specifically for voluntary sector organisations working with the public at large. Those with intentional, direct work with children (eg those in early years, children’s centres or youth work) or adults at risk (eg adult social care or clinical settings) may require additional training.
