Railway Capable Guardianship Training

Description

As part of wider plans to improve women and girls’ safety across Northamptonshire, the OPFCC intend to fund a training package aimed specifically at railway and train station and train operator staff. The training package will need to incorporate: • recognising the signs of VAWG offences, • Recognising wider vulnerability of those using public transport, or transport hubs, • safeguarding those individuals, • and an awareness of how to report such incidents. This will also need to include the positive role that railway and train station staff can play in spotting and reporting signs of abuse, neglect and concern of vulnerable passengers as well as setting out behavioural standards of the staff themselves. We require the product/package to deliver the following within the budget envelope: • Up to 4 minutes video and/or animation training package. • To be accessible and shareable across all electronic devices including mobile phones, laptops, tablets and computers. • Ability to translate package or add subtitles to video/animation so it is accessible to all Nationalities. • Must incorporate/teach awareness of safeguarding, sexual abuse and exploitation across the railway network. • Must incorporate/teach ability to recognising signs of abuse, neglect and vulnerability of passengers. • Ability within the package for manager’s/company officials to ensure completion of the package for example through the issue of an electronic certificate • Interactivity within the package including a knowledge check or group exercise. • Supporting reference material/aide memoire for driver notes ongoing awareness provided in electronic format for sharing with staff. The training package needs to be bespoke to Northamptonshire and not a product already developed as we wish to involve East Midlands Railway, West Midlands Railway and Northamptonshire Police in the creation and content of the package.
