Won't make any difference in my opinion if you end up getting into conflict and it gets reported to the police, it will still be guns seized.

When my peers found out I "go shooting" they automatically assume I'm a nutter.
After explaining the amounts of hoops I have to jump through and all the mandatory training, doctors letters and police interviews,
I often turn it round and tell them I'm probably saner than you and I have certificates to prove it.

There's always someone who will try to make money out of an issue.
(Not knocking it though, just stating facts.)
For example, I've never been checked once by the EA for my rod license yet I have to pay £30 a year for it.
The most important thing about conflict resolution training is the knowledge of how to put across what you have done.
It WILL NOT stop anyone making allegations against you, but may well stop you from ending up the wrong side of a dock!
From what do I judge this? I was a copper for a number of years and after retiring I did bits and bobs of SIA (security ) work. Mainly sports venues such as cricket and rugby (far more hassle at cricket than rugby as corporate freebies = idiots who cannot handle their free beer). I was shocked when doing the SIA course as they did not cover Conflict Resolution Models, although they did some very basic holds and restraints!
In both the Police and SIA the only complaints I ever had was due to when I had to restrain someone, I did not muck about! In both roles, the way that you state what you have done, considered and why you chose that course of action will help you.
Even better if you have video evidence as well. In both roles, I loved having a camera attached to me... it proved my actions rather than what was claimed.....best 150 quid I spent was getting my own after I retired.

Video evidence is the best solution, if someone approaches or has already started the conflict, just video as much as you can. Most of us already have a phone capable of doing such.
and keep it recording even if you have to put it on ground on in pocket etc due to situation, or Police turning up!
Sounds a good idea and learning more about how to handle and defuse conflict can only be a good thing. No one will be compelled to attend and credit should be given to the NGO for developing a course and putting this on. I am not a member and have no affiliation to it.

One of my permissions is on a well travelled walkers route. Got to a seat 30 mins before dawn the other day to see a head torch of a dog walker not 100m away. I live in fear of being seen dragging a deer……
Well that's because in most cases bailiffs aren't allowed to ask for them!
Generally I find that people are quite interested to know what you're up to, and to learn about the importance of deer management to protect fragile ecosystems from overgrazing.
True, you get a few who aren't so pleasant, but on balance the experience of interacting with members of the public while out stalking is generally positive.
I don't think there's any need for you to live in fear.

Mine haven't all been positive either, but most have.
I also think it's very important that we're not always trying to hide what we're doing. Furtive behaviour is much more disturbing to the general public than the sight of someone openly dragging a deer carcass down a forest ride.
As someone who dealt with the general public on a daily basis before recent retirement I would happy endorse training such as this.
My work circumstances weren't related to firearms but I learnt techniques to avoid escalating disputes (sometimes that's simply walking away).
I have a bit of stalking in forestry immediately adjacent to the town which is heavily used by the public and have used the lessons to good effect there
