May 2026 - Capability Building Event: Train the Trainer (Online)

This training focuses on three areas: i) the stages of planning, preparation, scenario design and how to debrief well, ii) the roles required to support delivery, iii) practical resources. Attendees will gain the skills to design, coordinate and run their own scenario exercises, either internally or with their network.

Whilst we welcome attendees with experience in planning or participating in exercises, this workshop is designed to support those less engaged in formal exercising structures to explore this way of working.

This event has reached full capacity. We’d love to have you join us at one of our other Train the Trainer sessions below.

June 2026 - Crisis Fundamentals with Horizon Resilience

In March, Horizon Resilience ran two well-received sessions on Crisis Fundamentals training, and they are back with another chance to join. Drawing on their experience at the heart of UK government crisis management, the training will provide participants with a strong practical foundation in crisis management principles, supported by a scenario-based discussion and applied learning. Attendees will go away with an improved awareness of crisis and resilience in the UK context, including how the voluntary and community sector fits within the wider resilience system and a practical understanding of the crisis lifecycle, from anticipation and response through to stabilisation and recovery.

Limited to 20 places - register by emailing marcusbowen@vcsep.org.uk

Tabletop Exercising: A masterclass for planning and delivery with The Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM)

We've teamed up with the ISRM to offer this fantastic training to EP Partners and their networks. Training and exercising are undoubtedly two of the most critical components in the development of an effective risk management and crisis response capability. The session is designed to give you the structures and frameworks to develop and deliver tabletop exercises from the simplest to the most complex. Developed through their own participation in developing and delivering training, and exercising programmes in multiple countries and with both government agencies and private corporations, this offer acts as a complimentary next step to those who've undergone our Train the Trainer Scenario Exercising, or for anyone who wants to affirm and enhance their exercising knowledge.
