Reporting a concern to safeguarding

Whilst we are still subject to various restrictions for meeting face to face within the Scouts, the Safeguarding Team are aiming to keep their service ‘business as usual’ as far as possible in the current climate. They recognise that there may be subjects who await outcomes to remove them from suspension and in these uncertain times, the safeguarding process may add to their anxiety. Therefore, the team propose that Commissioners utilise technology available to them to continue with necessary parts of the safeguarding process.

You can contact the Safeguarding Team, who are all operational from home, and with communication continuing through the 020 8433 7164 telephone number and safeguarding@scouts.org.uk and vetting@scouts.org.uk email addresses, communication is all being monitoring as usual. Safeguarding Officers and National Managers can also be contacted via direct dial and/or email.
