Child rights and Child Protection in Scouting
The e-learning resource on 'Keeping Scouts Safe From Harm' which was developed for Adults and the International Service Team (IST) of the recently concluded World Scout Jamboree in the UK, is now available online for global use. Inspired from the E-learning resources on Child Protection, created by NSOs, the tool, which is available in English and French, has been designed to develop worldwide awareness on the important subject.
Although Scout associations in many developed countries are having their own Child Protection policy, guidelines and adult training in place, there are many Scout associations who have not yet done much in the area. In an organisation like World Scouting, where millions of children, a large number of which are in developing countries, are involved in regular interaction with adults, it is very important that there is a focus on 'Keeping Scouts Safe From Harm'.
Specially designed for easy use and online accessibility, any adult can take part in this 20 minute e-learning training to discover aspects of Child Rights & Child Protection in Scouting and about taking care of oneself while helping at Scouting events.
Centenary Jamboree certificates can be printed at the end of the training. Although this tool is focussed on the Jamboree, it is being generalised for any Scout association to be able to modifiy and use for their adult training purposes.
It is the first time in the history of Jamborees that an E-learning tool has been created to support IST/Adult training.
The tool has been produced by the World Scout Bureau, The Scout Association (UK) and the Jamboree Team.
