Travel Arrangements
Peer Educators should make their own way to the venue. Paxwood Campsite is easily accessible from the M25 (junction 3). The closest station is Swanley (National Rail from London Victoria, Ashford International and Sevenoaks). With advance notice, we can arrange lifts to the venue from the station.

If the area in which you Guide is within an area of high deprivation, you may be able to apply for a Girlguiding London and South East England grant with approval from your commissioner.

Accessibility & Inclusion
Our knowledgeable and welcoming training team always strives to adapt sessions wherever possible to meet individual needs. We aim to make our training as inclusive and accessible as possible, so we encourage Peer Educators to be open and honest about any needs or requirements they may have. This allows us to work with you in advance of the event to understand how we can best support you and identify any appropriate reasonable adjustments.
As this is a structured training day with specific content that needs to be covered, there may be some limitations to how much we can alter the programme. if you indicate on your application form that you have additional needs or requirements, you will be contacted by email before the event, giving you an opportunity to provide further information. This will help us understand your needs and consider any reasonable adjustments that may support your participation.
