Staying safe and safeguarding
Looking after each other
Check out our guidance on what to do in case of an incident, including first aid and reporting.
Doing things safely is fundamental to everything we do at Scouts.
A risk assessment's important to help you minimise risks, both before and during an activity or event.
As adults in Scouts, the safety of young people is our priority. You can take a look at our Safe Scouting cards.
The safeguarding of young people in our care is our priority. At Scouts, we have various processes in place to make sure only appropriate adults can volunteer with us.
Our policy at Scouts is to safeguard the welfare of all members. We do this by protecting them from neglect and from physical, sexual and emotional harm.
Although families or schools may usually be the first port of call for many of the issues young people face, a Scouts volunteer may find themselves needing to offer support.
