Safeguarding
It is the policy of The Scout Association to safeguard the welfare of all members by protecting them from neglect and from physical, sexual and emotional harm.
It is a requirement for all adults in Scouting to have undertaken 'approved safeguarding training' every five years and this is monitored at the point of appointment review.
