Anti-bullying
It’s important for everyone in Scouting to understand the important role they play in responding to and preventing bullying.
It's the responsibility of all adults in Scouts to help develop a caring and supportive atmosphere, where bullying in any form is unacceptable. (POR Rule 2.7)
Our Anti-Bullying Guide has been written to help you address bullying and take steps to reduce the chances of it happening in your group or section.
We also have an Anti-Bullying Code of Conduct.
