Extract from Establishment Standing Orders:
REMEDIAL TRAINING
1. The purpose of remedial training is to
improve performance and bring trainees up to the required standard
where they have shown to be failing in a particular subject or
subjects. Remedial training will not be used as an alternative
to legitimate disciplinary action and instances where disciplinary
action is appropriate will always be referred to the appropriate
disciplinary authority. Remedial training will never breach the
Naval policy with regard to Equal Opportunities, neither will
the remedial training induce pain or distress.
2. There are two broad areas where remedial
training is appropriate:
(a) Where an individual or group is unable
to meet the standard required for the course through no fault
of his or her own. It is where they do not have the necessary
knowledge, ability or skill to meet the required standard, eg
an individual's fitness level is insufficient to keep pace with
the rest of the course. Positive action in the form of additional
training is necessary for the individual or group to complete
the training successfully.
(b) Where an individual or group fails to
meet the required standard because of a failure in attitude. They
have the necessary knowledge, abilities and skills but have failed
to apply them.
3. Remedial training measures will be applied
progressively and in moderation, with due regard to the stage
of training at which they are applied and the individual's circumstances.
4. The following set of principles will
be observed when awarding remedial training:
(a) Remedial training must be justified,
relevant, proportionate and reasonable.
(b) Where possible, remedial training should
normally be conducted within working hours. Where this is not
possible, remedial training should be timed so as to give primacy
to the commitments of the instructor(s) whilst causing minimal
disruption to the trainee(s).
(c) Remedial training will not normally to
take place on Saturday or Sundays, except in those phases or types
of training where Saturdays and Sundays are part of the normal
training week.
(d) Normally, no trainee will attend remedial
training for more than five hours per week. Where this is exceeded,
the training outcomes from the remedial training will be such
that they justify the time taken. The use of remedial training
will be monitored and recorded to ensure that it is not used excessively
in order to victimise any individual.
(e) Remedial training will be awarded promptly,
and be sanctioned by the relevant authority.
(f) Remedial training will not cause pain
or physical harm to the trainee and the trainee's physical limitations
will be taken into account when awarding it.
(g) Remedial training will be conducted as
a period of designated instruction in accordance with the normal
rules for good instruction and Instructor Codes of Practice.
5. Remedial training is normally applied
to the individual, except where there has been a collective failure
to achieve a required standard. Remedial training will only involve
those who fail to meet the standard. It will not be used as a
collective sanction on a group after the failure of an individual.
The award of remedial training is to be recorded in the individual's
documentation or in the remedial training log held within the
training group, to provide a written audit trail, which can be
inspected by the chain of command.
6. The following remedial training measures
are recommendations of approved practice. They are not intended
to be exhaustive or prescriptive, limit initiative or circumvent
the need for instructional staff to apply common sense and good
judgement. The training deficiency, default, transgression is
