Given that we are responsible for introducing safety laws and so on, we cannot state that the delegates do not have to comply with them. First, we need the bodies opposite to develop a manual outlining what circumstances require training, signage, safety equipment and so on. Having decided that, the next question is how groups, including voluntary ones, will comply – we have problems with the schemes in certain places – with those requirements. It is fair to say that, with voluntary workers, training can be a problem.
