A
breakdown of On Road training which is headed up by Wendy Creed, a
qualified instructor involved in the gearing up process
BIKEABILITY - On Road Cycle Training
in the 21st Century Effective Training!! Wherever I teach, I always go out first and do specific site risk assessments of the area to be used. Bike checks are also done prior to going out on the road and hopefully parents/teachers will tell me if any of the children that have learning difficulties … for example a deaf child who can lip read, or because of the coursework assignments, if a child has dyslexia or if they are colour blind. There is no reason why any of the above should prevent someone participating but from a Health & Safety angle I do need to know, it's important so that the right provision can be made to accommodate their needs, bearing in mind we do work out on the roads and I do encourage traffic to act normally, rather than giving way and lulling the students into a false sense of security. Check your Highway Code ... amongst others, flashing headlights don't mean a thing! Additionally my training scheme including all policies required by law, has been checked and cleared by an independent government representative, further as an instructor, I have also been observed and monitored by an independent appointed consultant who then wrote up and submitted a report on me to the CTSB to ensure that the high standard we commit to achieve is maintained. To contact Wendy email her at w.creed@rsct.org.uk or call her on 07762 493662
NB. The purchase of Bikeability goodies such as the badge and certificate is optional at an additional charge of £3.50 per course otherwise RSCT issued certificates will be used. And a surcharge may be applicable depending on both the number of students/groups requiring training and potential travel costs depending on where I am teaching. We are prepared to go countywide so please don't ever think you are too far away for me to come to you! |
