Naval Force Protection
25 June - 26 June 2003
Naval Force Protection
SAE Media Group’s fourth annual Naval Force Protection Conference will emphasise the critical need for force protection in modern naval operations and in the light of emerging asymmetric threats. The purpose of this event is to look at the Defence of Naval Forces against the variety of threats deployed against them. The protection of high value units and logistics support at sea will normally depend on a wide range of factors in both multi and single threat environments. In the littoral, threats are now more widespread including conventional submarines, mines, fast attack craft, land based anti ship missiles and air attack. Additionally, Naval Force Protection has become increasingly topical since September 11 and current terrorist threats.

This conference will address the major issues within the changing and evolving naval environment, looking specifically at the future requirements and government policies for naval force protection. The conference will give an insight into current international operational requirements and new technologies being developed for naval force protection. The conference will address the major issues within the changing and evolving naval environment, looking specifically at the requirements of naval forces to operate in the littoral environment safely. It will also look at the technological advances and systems development to meet these requirements. It will address the real terrorist threat to naval and look at how naval forces will respond to this in relation to technology, training, intelligence gathering and weapon systems development.

Benefits of attending:
· DISCOVER how naval forces will respond to emerging threats of the 21st century

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
