PILOT exemption from the Girlguiding trainer qualication
requirements when delivering A Safe Space Level 2 & 3
This document explains the process and requirements around recognising prior teaching and
training learning and experience. It enables our volunteers to be exempt from the requirements of
the Girlguiding trainer qualication when delivering A Safe Space.
What does recognising prior learning and experience in training or teaching mean?
It means that Girlguiding will recognise previous qualications and recent experience you may have
had in training or teaching as a replacement for the trainer qualication, Module 4 A Safe Space.
To deliver A Safe Space Levels 2-3 training, you must be a Girlguiding volunteer (in some capacity).
You will also require the following (or can pair up with someone else to ensure between you that
you cover the following requirements):
●
Have an up-to-date Girlguiding trainer qualication or an adult trainer or teaching
qualication listed in Tables 1 and 2 below, and have actively been fullling a training or
teaching role within the last three years (from date of planned training event). Note: you’ll
need to provide evidence of up-to-date continuous professional development (CPD) within the
last three years and the certication of the qualication.
●
Have up-to-date A Safe Space Levels 1-3 training. Note: if more than one trainer is delivering
they both require this. This can include recognising prior learning for Level 3.
●
One of you must have an up-to-date Girlguiding trainer qualication Module 4 (A Safe Space)
or be a volunteer who has met the Recognising prior learning process, making them exempt
from A Safe Space Level 3. For further information see ‘Recognising prior safeguarding
learning and experience’ document.
If you (and your co-trainer, if delivering jointly) don’t have the Girlguiding trainer qualication,
you’re required to have a Girlguiding trainer (with any combination of modules) or commissioner
(that has up-to-date A Safe Space Levels, 1-3 training) present at the training. They don’t need to
lead the training, but must be on hand to provide the guiding context as required.
Note: Only those with an up-to-date Girlguiding trainer qualication Module 4 – A Safe Space and
up-to-date A Safe Space training Levels 1-4 can deliver A Safe Space, Level 4 training. And, all
those with a Girlguiding trainer qualication who have completed A Safe Space,
Levels 1-3 within the last three years can deliver Level 1.

How to apply for an exemption – the process
1. Cross-reference your training or teaching qualications against the lists of
qualications recognised as equivalent to, or containing the same, skills development
as the Girlguiding trainer qualication.
If you have any nationally recognised adult training qualication pre-2007, please contact HQ to
discuss its equivalency leadership@girlguiding.org.uk
Tables 1 and 2 are not exhaustive lists.
2. If your qualication is listed above, then complete the ‘Recognising prior learning
and experience in training or teaching assessment form’ (found at the end of this
document) and submit it to your country and region ofce. Note: this will involve attaching
evidence of your relevant qualication/s
.
3. Your country and region ofce will get back to you within 28 days with an answer,
and your GO record updated accordingly.
Note: If you have not actively been involved in training or teaching and/or your CPD is not up-
to-date within the last three years, no exemption is possible. It may not be possible to log this
exemption on GO until the end of 2018. In the meantime, liaise with the country region ofce to
see where the information can be kept locally, so it can be updated when this is possible.

Additional questions
What do you need to be a Safe Space trainer?
Because A Safe Space contains key Girlguiding messages, all trainers will need to complete Levels
1–3. This means trainers need to attend A Safe Space, Level 3 training before being able to deliver
Levels 2–3, and attend Level 4 training before delivering Level 4.
As with all volunteers, there’s no exemption for trainers for Levels 1, 2 and 4. These must be
completed as they explain the approach we take to safeguarding; how we create safe spaces in
Girlguiding and specic procedures on managing a safeguarding allegation, disclosure or concern.
See ‘Recognising prior safeguarding learning and experience’ process for A Safe Space Level 3
document for more information on this.
What if my qualication is not listed, but is similar?
1. The rst step is to cross-reference the qualication you have to the criteria list below:
● Have responsibility for maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment.
● Use a variety of teaching and learning strategies and approaches to meet the needs of learners.
This includes how to create a learning environment that engages and motivates learners .
●
Plan and deliver an inclusive learning and teaching session.
● Be able to manage group learning and development.
● Be able to plan and deliver inclusive learning and teaching sessions (including writing session
plans, aims and objectives). Experience and evidence of delivery within the last three years.

2. If the answer is ‘Yes’ to all sections, then complete the ‘Recognising prior teaching and training
learning and experience assessment form’ (at the end of this document), and submit it to your
country/region ofce.
3. They will want to see evidence of your qualication and CPD (continuing professional development),
or active teaching or training experience from the last three years. (This could be a witness
statement from the head of the school you work at, or a manager, or a pay-slip from the last three
years.) Your country and region ofce will review your form and will probably get in touch with you
for a chat. They will decide if your professional training is equivalent, let you know within 28 days
and ensure your GO record is updated accordingly. If you qualify, you should receive an email to
conrm this.
If needed, country and region ofces can get in touch with the Volunteer Learning and Development
team for advice: leadership@girlguiding.org.uk
What to do if you are dissatised with the decision
If you aren’t satised with the decision, please email the complaints team: complaints@girlguiding.org.uk
If I can deliver A Safe Space, Level 4 training, can I use it to meet my submission
requirements for the trainer qualication, Module 2?
Yes, it could be used as one of the training observations being submitted.
As Level 4 involves training commissioners, we would normally ask trainers to hold, or be
working towards, trainer qualication Module 2 (Leadership and Management). Is this true
with A Safe Space trainers for Level 4?
No, trainers are not required to hold, or be working towards trainer qualication Module 2. This is
to ensure minimal barriers are in place, which will help us recruit more A Safe Space trainers and
address any shortfall of trainers across Girlguiding. Though not required, having this module is strongly
recommended and would be advantageous.
What if my qualication was obtained from outside the UK?
In this case, please get in touch with the Volunteer Learning and Development team:
leadership@girlguiding.org.uk
