Event Safety Workshop – online – 9th March 7pm – 9.30
2026-03-09 19:00 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | Online
This online Event Safety and Welfare (ESW) workshop is aimed at all who orienteer – whether you are a coach, a competitor, an event official or helper. It is a suitable refresher for those who have attended the course before – there are some new materials!
Delivered online, using the Zoom platform and Google tools, this 2.5 hour workshop is a prerequisite for all event officials at SOA/BOF events and licensed coaches.

There will be a short pre-course task to enable us to make the most of the online time together which will be sent out one week before the course.

Please complete the registration form by 23rd February 2026
