Zero Tolerance Policy
Any member(s) committing acts of violence (physically or mentally) will be sent home and reported to our Lead Volunteer.
Youth Member Anti-Bullying Policy
2.7.1.1 “Children have the right to protection from all forms of violence (physical or mental). They must be kept safe from harm and they must be given proper care by those looking after them.”
2.7.1.2 The Scout Association is committed to this ethos and seeks to ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the prevention of all forms of bullying among members. To this end all scouting activities should have in place rigorous anti-bullying strategies.
Responsibility within the Youth Member Anti-Bullying Policy
2.7.2.1 It is the responsibility of all adults in the Scouts to help develop a caring and supportive atmosphere, where bullying in any form is unacceptable.
2.7.2.2 Adults in the Scouts should:
- be aware of the potential problems bullying may cause
- be alert to signs of bullying, harassment or discrimination
- take action to deal with such behaviour when it occurs, following The Scout Association policy guidelines
- provide access for young people to talk about any concerns they may have
- encourage young people and adults to feel comfortable and caring enough to point out attitudes or behaviour they do not like
- help ensure that their Group/Section has a published anti-bullying code.
Group Specific Policy
All members of the Group are expected to have respect for themselves and for other people. Parents & Guardians of our members are required to support these policies and to support the group, its officers and leaders in their implementation. The application of these policies and rules helps to ensure that everyone can get full benefit and enjoyment from membership of the Scout Association.
Code Of Conduct
Each section of the group will be responsible for creating its own youth led code of conduct . Each member of the section will be required to sign the code of conduct which is to be displayed on the section notice boards. New members joining any section will also be required to read, agree with and sign this code of conduct.
