How to gain your Nights Away Permit

To complete, go to SWAN; My Membership; Programme Support; Permits; Search for "Nights Away"; Apply

You have to select an advisor - in the first instance, please choose Keith Millar (he will allocate to another as appropriate).

The assessor is there to assist you to gain your permit and will guide you through the process and help you where they can - they are not there to catch you out or make it difficult, but purely to ensure you can successfully, and safely, take young people away for nights away events in the future.

Documents should be kept from all camps that were relevant to your role in any camp to assist with the assessment (subject to GDPR of course, so delete/remove names etc etc).

NIGHTS AWAY NOTIFICATION (NAN)

All Nights Away events should be notified, using SWAN, to the NAA/Commissioner at least 7 days prior to the event.
