​ Interested to hear what other people’s opinions are on this subject. NGO Conflict Management Course 19 & 20 March 2024 Contact John Clarke on 07824 099937 As the countryside becomes more accessible it is likely that NGO members will come into contact with the general public on a more regular basis; this may sometimes result in conflict. The police are now overtly risk averse and in most incidents where conflict has arisen the keeper, farmer or land manager will have their guns confiscated. Getting your guns returned can take months (even years) and can carry a five-figure legal-representation price tag. This course will give you the skills and techniques to diffuse a situation and may prove invaluable should you find malicious allegations have been made against you. You will be able to show that you have taken steps to ensure that you have been trained and can conduct yourself calmly and professionally. In addition, you will have a qualification and a certificate to prove it. What does the course cover and what will you gain? Expert conflict resolution techniques Recap and further develop your understanding around laws and legislation that are relevant to gamekeeping in the UK Develop effective communication strategies for dealing with the general public and animal conservation and animal rights activists Gain an Ofqual L2 Award in Conflict Management Course Highlights Bespoke course for gamekeepers Practical simulations and real-world scenarios Expert trainers in conflict management with relevant knowledge of the sector Comprehensive UK legal insights including safe use of firearms and laws relating to trespass Networking with fellow gamekeepers/gun users Course details Duration: 2 Days (09:00-17:00) 19 & 20 March 2024 Assessment Method: multiple choice exam Location: The Manor, Manor Farm, Enderby Road, Thurlaston Leicester LE9 7TF Price: £180 inclusive of VAT per person To book this course or set up a course in your local area call John Clarke on07824 099937. For that extra piece of mind, we have negotiated with Side by Side Insurance to deliver an insurance policy that covers you in the event that a shotgun or firearms certificate is refused, revoked or not renewed. Side by Side insurance covers up to £250,000 of legal costs, including costs to defend certain criminal offences and bringing licensing appeals. Legal expenses can start in a simple firearms case at £10,000 and can escalate for more complex cases to more than £100,000. Side by Side provides you with access to the UK’s best legal professionals to give you the best possible chance of recovering your certificate. Side By Side policy holders enjoy ultimate peace of mind knowing that if the police interfere unreasonably with the enjoyment of your sport, you will be in a position to defend yourself whatever your financial situation or expertise.

This might be a good idea for dealing with the missus!

Looks like someone is jumping on the bandwagon to capitalise on others misfortune.

No conflict management course is going to help, it's been said above, keep calm and don't rise to the bait. Over 20 years experience working in the security industry has shown no course has ever helped prevent conflicts.

Might suggest from reading most threads that "keeping calm and not rising to the bait" isn't often seen on this site

Perhaps an in-house SD conflict management course could help fund the site

Dragged a Doe back to my vehicle the other week and a nice old couple, walkers , came by and were very interested in what i was doing, explained about the deer management to protect the saplings on the land etc, after a short while they started to leave and said if i ever shoot Hares, i don't and said so, there reply was, "that's a shame we would have bought 1 off you if you did we love a Jugged Hare". Took there number and if i get 1 off another lad i'll pass it on. That's the only interaction i've ever had with other people whilst out Stalking.
So hopefully never need conflict management advice.

Not uncommon for keepers /stalkers to be confronted and filmed and to be told they should not be carry out their legal duties
most if not all well versed in dealing with these scenarios and agitators, course can do no harm along with all the others snaring, loading etc.
Long ago heeded the best advice from the police which was basically let them deal with crime and do not get involved due to counter claims by criminals and possible loss of shotguns/ firearms whilst investigations made.
Watched folks smash Larson traps, cut snares, steal quad bikes among other things but all part of the entertainment though frustrating at times

Many cast their flys and some trout harder to catch than others

Was sent on many courses by employers some involved the ngo others not and as long as they were paying all good and every day a learning day and demonstrated the necessary due this and that with all backs covered along the way.
Personally would not bother unless funded but could be a jolly boys outing and can do no harm
