Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Ian Elliott:
Safeguarding concerns do not simply involve sexual abuse. We are talking about the whole range of activities and situations that cause distress and upset to young people, some of which can be extreme. They can involve trying to access alcohol or leaving the site inappropriately. All these activities are included in that.
