Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Governance and Child Protection Policy: Scouting Ireland

4:10 pm

Dr. John Lawlor:

We would bring the case and detail to the child protection management which makes a recommendation to the board because there are certain reserved powers of the board such as suspension or removal of membership. That would have to go to the board. We are restricted in what we can tell the board about a case to maintain some level of confidentiality, particularly a board of 20 people and one which does not have the expertise to understand what it is told. Those are the kinds of issue that Mr. Elliott's report has addressed. He might comment on that.
