We take the safety and wellbeing of each other and the young people in our care seriously. 

​

All Leaders complete safeguarding training and are cleared to work with young people through the Government's Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)

​

As Scouts, our policy is to safeguard the welfare of all young people by protecting them from neglect, physical, sexual and emotional harm. All members have a duty to report concerns and a right to do so in confidence and free from harassment

​

Bullying is  taken seriously and parents are always included when working towards resolutions. Sessions on anti-bulling are included annually.  For more information see the Scouting Together We Can Beat Bullying Guide

​

As leaders it is our duty to report ALL safeguarding concerns as a matter of urgency following the correct process.
