Safety Checklist for Leaders

The Staying Safe - Safety Checklist for Leaders is a pocket sized checklist aimed to help all adults working with young people to fulfil their role and responsibilities in managing and supporting safety in Scouting.

The safety of both young people and adults in Scouting is important. A large part of this is about being organised, asking the right questions and doing things that will help safety without taking away a sense of adventure appropriate to the age group. This is a straight-forward checklist that can be dealt with quickly and easily.

It is the responsibility of all those involved in Scouting to seek, so far as is reasonably practicable, to ensure that all activities are conducted in a safe manner without risk to the health of the participants.
