Thank participants for attending the training sessions, and for taking an active part. Remind participants that attending the session is only part of completing their training for this module – for those undertaking the module as part of their training plan they also need to validate their learning.

Explain that validation means showing that they can put what they have learnt into practice in their Scouting role.

You may also wish to hand out the relevant module page from the Adult’s Personal File, which sets out the validation criteria for this module.

It may be necessary to explain the local process for validating the module at this point.

It may also be appropriate to talk about the Nights Away Permit Scheme and assessment.

Cover:

• the reason for the Permit Scheme
• assessment process
• training and support
• using the Permit
• applying for a Permit
• local contacts

You may wish to give participants a copy of the module summary sheet from the Adult’s Personal File.

Whether it is necessary to explain your local process for validation will depend on the situation of your participants, and how much information has been given to them before attending the training. It's important to ensure that by the time participants leave the session they should understand what they need to do to validate the module, and who they will be validating it with.

It's also useful to give information about the local Nights Away process and Permit Assessment.
