Overview

After an emergency, significant incident, or exercise there will always be opportunities for learning in developing resilience capability. However, in a busy working environment, this opportunity can sometimes get lost for individuals, teams, organisations, and partnerships if you don’t have robust debriefing processes in place. Skilled debriefers sit at the centre of this process, this highly interactive and task-based course will cover all the debriefing bases.

Whether you are working in a single organisation or multi-agency partnership, you will have the opportunity to work with experts and peers to develop your debriefing skills.

A focus on documenting what went well, what didn’t, and what can be done differently are commonly asked questions. An implementation plan will navigate your journey from lessons identified to lessons learned.
