Heritage Crafts wants every training experience whether in a workshop, studio, institution, or private workspace to be safe, respectful, and supportive for everyone involved.

This is why we ask that you read and agree to Heritage Crafts Safe Working Practices Guidelines for Trainers and Trainees.

All trainers are expected to follow these principles (as well as trainees):

 

• Act professionally and respectfully at all times
• Maintain appropriate boundaries
• Keep communication focused on training
• Work safely and follow health & safety guidance
• Use tools and PPE responsibly
• Respect personal space and comfort levels
• Raise concerns early

Will your training involve:

• Anyone under 18
• An adult at risk - defined as
  1. Has needs for care and support (whether or not the local authority is meeting any of those needs).
  2. Is experiencing, or is at risk of, abuse or neglect.
  3. As a result of those care and support needs, is unable to protect themselves from either the risk of, or the experience of, abuse or neglect. (As defined by the Care Act 2014).

If you do not have the relevant risk assessments in place, example risk assessments for Safeguarding and Health and Safety are available here, these should be tailored to your training space. 

 

We offer bursary recipients the chance to join our Recipients' Circle, a network and community of individuals who have received funding or recognition from Heritage Crafts. A chance to come together with others at all skill levels in regular online meet-ups or support surgeries.

As someone who is receiving funds from Heritage Crafts to train this bursary receipient, we wanted to extend the invitation to you too. We are here to support makers and those in hertiage trades at all stages of their career (not just trainees). 

We are also keen to build a network of trusted trainers and appreciate that your sharing of skills keeps the pipeline of trainees active. 

We would like to invite you to join our membership to maximise the benefits that Heritage Crafts can offer your practice and business. 

This includes a bespoke profile in our Makers Directory, in person and online meet ups and exclusive events, practical support in our resource library and access to promote your work.
