So you can revalidate solely on the basis that you have been
continually coaching? That sounds a bit dodgy to me - I am learning
that a lot of the things I was initially first taught may not be best
practice now. But because I have ben ontinually coaching using these
methods for the 3 year period I am considered to be up to date?

It seems to me (yes you guys have turned me political) that the whole
revalidation scheme has been very poorly thought out, and in many cases
is pretty pointless. PArticualrly as you can continue to coach as a
non-validated coach?
