Safeguarding Information
Safeguarding and promoting the safety and well being of girls, young women and adults is the first priority of Girlguiding. It’s at the heart of everything we do, and it’s the responsibility of every Girlguiding volunteer, member and member of staff.
It’s extremely important that you’re clear about your safeguarding responsibilities, and about Girlguiding’s commitment to safeguarding. The Girlguiding website has lots of information for you about safeguarding.
