Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Ian Elliott:

I will try to do both. Our capacity is limited, which is a concern to me and one about which I have spoken to the board and others. It is limited not just by the issue of dealing with the past but also the issue of making sure that what is happening currently is dealt with in an effective and efficient way.

Ms Kelly made the committee aware of the fact that we have placed an advertisement for a safeguarding manager, and that is an excellent start. I hope that advertisement will be successful and I also hope other advertisements, which we will require for case officers to strengthen the safeguarding resources that are available to us at this time, will be successful.
