Debriefing Emergencies and Exercises

Overview

In the wake of an emergency there is much to learn, but this crucial opportunity can be lost unless you have effective debriefing skills. The right training for those who will lead organisational learning; this highly interactive and task-based workshop covers all of the important debriefing bases. 

Learn how to analyse, adapt and move forward, constantly challenging ideas in order to get it right. Whether you are working in a single organisation or multi-agency partnership, this is an opportunity to discuss with experts as well as peers, the requirements of a major event debrief. 

Focusing on documenting what went well, what didn’t and what can be done differently are commonly asked questions. When answered and actioned from a professionally developed implementation plan, lessons can truly be learned.
