Louisa,
I suggest you contact your local STEM Ambassador contract holder in Cambridgeshire. They should be able to help you out with training, CRB, etc.

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Supporting researchers in engagement
Dear all,
I'm hoping you can share some best practice with equipping researchers for outreach purposes. We're looking at both encouraging our researchers to become more involved with outreach and also provide training support to demonstrate that we're committed to enhancing their skills, as well as making them better communicators. To do this we're thinking of creating different semi-formal training routes - matched to people's interests and the sort of outreach they want to do (writing content, talking to people, taking tours, acting as media spokespeople etc).
Do any of you do this, provide prescribed or recommended training for your researchers working in outreach, and how do you do it? What's the uptake like, do people feel supported and positive about it or does it put them off? Any thoughts?
Thanks for your input,
Louisa
