Mr. Ian Elliott:

There are overlaps with regard to the approach to safeguarding that was evident in the organisation as a whole. I can comment on that because that is not specific to the critical case review. On one side I was looking at specific policies and procedures that were either present or not present but I was also concerned about the culture. I argued to have a change in the culture of the organisation in safeguarding and an appreciation of the fact that this was something which was central to what Scouting Ireland or any youth organisation that offers services to children and young people in Ireland should have. I was concerned about creating that focus and ensuring that it was carried through.
