Yeah I'm not sure how the insurance covers them however you can write up some sort of waver of sign then up as auxillery members. Most parents seem happy to go auxillery.

Yes SES do have a standard RCR training which differs from the CFS RCR manual. however in rural area's RCR practices leave alot to be desired. How ever they always seem to do well in the RCR comps so it can;t be all that bad

Maybe in some rural areas, but not all. Please try not to generalise and put everyone down; there are some of us who are damn good at what we do.

Yes I know we are damn good at our job coming from two RCR SES units. I'm just saying that until SES becomes standard across the board you are going to have a laps in desired RCR tecniques. CFS is equally impressive in there RCR tecniques but they have alot more paper work to back up there practices.

Yes get the parents involved. It then becomes more of a family activity and your also training the parents as well. you may even end up with more operational/support crew this way. Also ask brigade member wether they want to be involved. do not do this in a group because there may be some shy member that would  love to attend and help but feel weired about putting there hands up if in a group. I know I do some times.
