To become a licensed chaperone you need to take part in a Devon County Council Course, which involves references, a DBS check, and a 2 hour online class usually in the evening.
I can forward on current details for when the next course is and how to get signed up.
If your not available to help on the day there may still be some areas that you could help with. So if you’re able to sew, craft, or design do let me know if you’d like to help.
