Introduction to dinghy sailing instruction, preparation for formal instructor qualifications. Volunteers Without Dinghy or Yacht Sailing Experience Those interested in going afloat are encouraged to take an appropriate RYA dinghy sailing course. This can be arranged in conjunction with Chesil Sailability and will enable volunteers to be more effective on the pontoons and to sail with Sailability sailors in 2-seat Hansa dinghies. However, its fine if you want to stay on dry land too – and you are just as important to us in off-the-water roles! Volunteers With Sailing Experience You’ll need to talk to David and Hugh about your experience and skills. Dependent on experience, you will initially be invited to take one of our boats out to see how you perform and adapt to its steering system. The DO or Duty Officer will assess whether you can be added to the list of authorised Skippers, to take sailors out in the double-handed boats. DISCLOSURE AND BARRING SERVICE (DBS) All Chesil Sailability Volunteers who will have face to face contact with Sailors are required to possess Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance – (replaces the CRB checks). Normally we recommend requesting Enhanced Clearance which will enable contact with Adults and Children. The RYA supply and countersign DBS forms for those who apply, and the service is free for volunteers. The application forms can be obtained from CS Safeguarding Officers Cathie Williams and Jill Vines (contact details below). Details required to enable the checks to be carried out: Full Names Date and Place of Birth National Insurance number Driving Licence number Passport number Current Home Address (+ all addresses for the past five years). The details given by applicants on the forms need to be verified (by seeing appropriate evidence) by one of the Safeguarding Officers, before the forms are sent back to the RYA for countersignature. Evidence needed: Passport and / or Birth Certificate Driving Licence Card National Insurance number (Payslip, tax form or pension form) Current Address (Current utilities bill or letter from head teacher if aged 16 – 17 years in full -time education) The DBS forms once issued will be sent by post to the applicant and must be shown to the Safeguarding Officer to confirm clearance has been obtained.
