Due to the expansion of the scheme, we are currently recruiting judges.
Judges are essential to the effective operation of the Green Flag Award scheme, they are volunteers with wide ranging backgrounds including park management, environmental management, horticulture, arboriculture, grounds maintenance, community involvement, etc.
Judges are the independent arbiters of the scheme, providing the crucial link between the park and green space users and the managers of the scheme itself. Judges are all volunteers, giving their time freely to the scheme, though all expenses are reimbursed.
Training is given via briefing days, and a mentoring scheme operates. The time commitment for judging varies although a maximum of one and a half days per site, depending on the size of the site, is a good guide.
If you think you have what it takes to become a judge then please contact Christina Wentworth, Applications & Marketing Assistant, tel: 0151 231 6903, email: .
