Safeguarding Policy Statement

This Code of Conduct sets out standards of behaviour The Boys’ Brigade expects from all of our leaders. The code aims to help us protect children and young people from harm and to reduce situations where misunderstandings, concerns or allegations may occur.

Leaders are responsible for making sure they have read, understood, and agree to follow the code of conduct, and that they understand the consequences of unacceptable or inappropriate behaviour and poor practice.
