Suspensions

Placing restrictions on a volunteers role provides an alternative option when suspension may not be appropriate

At times it maybe necessary to suspend a volunteer's involvement in Scouts. There is guidance to support Commissioners with each stage of the process 

There are three key elements to the mandatory suspension process where a volunteer has no valid disclosure

Commissioners may need to take action if volunteers have overdue training. There are a number of tools and resources to support these situations

Formal suspension of a youth member may be appropriate where they have been accused of a serious criminal offence or of behaviour that put adults or young people at serious risk of harm.
