GN77 Bat considerations during Roofing Work / bespoke eLearning

NFRC have collaborated with The Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) to produce guidance for bat and roof risk management and considerations during roofing works.

The Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) has been championing the protection of our bat species and their habitats throughout the UK, engaging with both people and these intriguing mammals to provide guidance to those whose work might impact bats, for almost 35 years. This partnership between NFRC and Bat Conservation Trust has focused on developing practical guidance to help roofing contractors better understand their responsibilities when carrying out roofing works where bats or bat roosts may be present.

In addition to the guidance to support awareness raising across the roofing industry, NFRC and BCT have worked together to develop a bespoke eLearning course approved by both parties.
