The
British Coasteering Federation was set up in 2006; its main aim being to
introduce positive safety guidelines for coasteering in the UK. The
BCF's Coasteering guides scheme has been developed to promote safe
standards for coasteer guides. The
British Coasteering Guides Scheme will help produce highly trained and
experienced coasteer guides. Knowledge can only be gained in conjunction
with experience through time and training. The BCF Guides Scheme or
BCFGS will cover training, consolidation period and assessment. As part
of the scheme all guides will be expected to assist alongside different
coasteering providers within the UK, which will help them gain and share
knowledge and experience of different coasteering locations. The
British Coasteering Federation encourages guides to expand on their
knowledge and experience. The BCF will help guides in finding training
and work placements around the UK; this will help in promoting safe
standards for coasteering in the UK. Guides will also be expected
to further there lifeguard training and keep up to date with new First
Aid guidelines. The BCF will inform all guides of any changes made to
current coasteering guidelines.
Objectives The
British Coasteering Federation is a self regulated federation, with the
objective of supporting the safe development of coasteering in Britain.
