ISPCC: Support needs to be in place for alleged victims of abuse at Scouting Ireland

The policy coordinator of the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC) says it is important that resources and supports are in place to help anyone who comes forward with allegations of abuse to Scouting Ireland.

Fiona Jennings also called on all organisations working with children to ensure their recruitment and training procedures are robust. “We would urge them to take the time to review the procedures they have in place to ensure they offer the best protection for children.”
