Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Governance and Child Protection Policy: Scouting Ireland

4:10 pm

Mr. Ian Elliott:

None of the reports I have provided has been published by Scouting Ireland. Two of the reports that I have provided to Scouting Ireland have been accessed by the media, or leaked to the media but that is not as a result of any decision made by Scouting Ireland or by me.

The Minister has been provided with two of the three reports and the third will be provided whenever matters have been concluded in respect of the inquiry. The two I provided examine the overall situation of safeguarding policy and practice within Scouting Ireland, an interim report in the first instance and a final report which also suggested a revised structure for how safeguarding should develop that the organisation should adopt. Those have been provided to the Minister.
