Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Governance and Child Safeguarding Issues in Scouting Ireland: Tusla and Scouting Ireland

Mr. Pat Smyth:

In terms of any organisations, that is the challenge all of us have as citizens. I am a citizen, a parent and a member of voluntary organisations. I understand and feel the difficulty all of us have in terms of ensuring we try to do the right thing all the time. That is the standard we are asking of everybody. It is something that every one of us as citizens recognises we have to do. Every organisation in which we are involved has that necessity to train and ensure all staff involved and, more importantly, volunteers involved are aware of the practice of the policy and the procedures.
