The action plan was agreed between the two bodies last night and aims to improve the safeguarding of children taking part in scouting activities. It will see Scouting Ireland review their Safeguarding Risk Assessment and relevant procedures to protect members. Scouting Ireland said it has already addressed a point in the plan to recruit an new safeguarding manager with responsibility for overseeing the organisation’s policies and liaising with Tusla.
