All Management Levels at Branch, Group or County,  Are Now ‘Accountable’  For The Activities Of The Legion

 

Under Charity Law the National Trustees of The Royal British Legion and volunteer members, at all management levels, are ‘accountable’ for the activities of the Legion. There is a need for all volunteer Members holding RBL Office at National, County and Branch levels to be trained and instructed as to their duties and responsibilities. This National Training Course Programme is designed by the Membership Support & Training Department in conjunction with the Legion Training and Development Department, on behalf of the Training Advisory Group (TAG), to meet that training need and offers a variety of courses to the Legion Membership.

Courses are held either in the North of England ( invariably The Queen’s Hotel, Leeds ) and in the South at the Tidworth College. A majority of courses convene on a Friday afternoon and disperse after lunch on Sunday. The costs are covered by the RBL, which includes travelling expenses, unless otherwise stated on the course profile (pages 3-13). In most cases students are awarded an attendance certificate on completion of the course. Records of course attendance are maintained by the Membership Training Department.

National Training Courses are extremely popular, therefore, it is advisable to apply for course vacancies at least 4 months prior to the course dates. Applications should be made using the application form at pages 17-18. All applications must be endorsed by the County Training Officer.

 

 
  Target Student:
County officers, County Committee Members and specialist County appointments.  Students must have the ability and motivation to take an active part in discussions and syndicate work during the course.

 

 
  Aim:
To brief RBL officers, at County level, on County Management structures and procedures, to emphasise their duties and responsibilities and to practice simple project planning at County/District level.
