Bespoke Support for your Organisation in Maritime SAR

Maritime Search and Rescue Council believe that mentorship is a powerful tool for improving maritime search and rescue capability. By providing mentorship to search and rescue organisations, we can share our knowledge, expertise, and best practices, and help build the capacity of search and rescue personnel and organisations worldwide.

Our Mentorship Program is designed to provide bespoke mentorship based on the needs and requirements of each organisation and area they serve.

Our mentorship program includes the following components:

• Needs Assessment: We conduct a needs assessment to identify the specific needs and requirements of each organisation. This includes an evaluation of the organisation's capabilities, resources, and challenges. This also includes a full review and analysis of the National SAR Plan and organisation operational, tactical and strategic plans as appropriate.
• Customised Mentorship Plan: Based on the needs assessment, we develop a customised mentorship plan that includes specific goals and objectives, as well as a timeline and milestones for achieving them.
• Mentorship Sessions and Organisational Development: We provide mentorship sessions that include training, coaching, and guidance on specific areas identified in the mentorship plan. These sessions may be conducted in person or online, depending on the needs and requirements of each organisation. These sessions focus on developing individuals as well as the organisation and will reflect the areas identified within the Needs Assessment.
• Evaluation and Feedback: We evaluate the progress of the organisation throughout the mentorship program and provide feedback and recommendations.

In addition, as part of the mentorship program we also provide:

• Free membership of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council for a certain number of the organisation's volunteers and staff, including all membership benefits for the duration of the program.
• Heavily discounted maritime SAR training courses for the organisation and its staff and volunteers.
• Heavily discounted and bespoke SAR consultancy to address more specific and in depth development needs for the organisation as required.
