Safeguarding Procedures for County and District Commissioners (Grey Card)
What happens if…? An at-a-glance guide to protecting young people
What happens if someone makes an allegation of abuse?
Young people’s welfare is our main concern. All allegations or suspicions of abuse must be referred to the District Commissioner immediately. This applies to all concerns, no matter how insignificant they might seem or where or when they happened.
If you receive details of an allegation or suspicion of child abuse, you must follow this guide’s procedures. Some cases will be reported to the County, Area or Regional (Scotland) Commissioner. They must also follow this guide’s procedures.
What action should I take?
As District Commissioner, you should take action as soon as possible (always within 24 hours). You must contact the Safeguarding Team. Do not investigate the matter or question anyone involved. The Safeguarding Team will contact the appropriate authorities who are best placed to take any necessary action.
Contact
If you are in any doubt about what to do, contact either the Safeguarding Team (020 8433 7164) or the Scout Information Centre (0845 3001818). The Scout Information Centre has an out-of-hours service for urgent calls.
If a child is at immediate risk of harm you should immediately contact the police by calling 999.
