Safe from harm

Child protection is the responsibility of each and every adult at the World Scout Jamboree. It is also the responsibility of each adult to be aware that abuse can take place, be able to recognise it and to take appropriate action. This is an absolute priority in both WAGGGS and WOSM. Safe from Harm should become an integral part when planning, carrying out and taking part in activities.

By learning more about abuse, everyone will be able to act in a safe and secure way. The course Safe from Harm is created for everyone to be able to work preventively before and during the Jamboree. The course will also prepare you for how to act if something happens. The course is available in Arabic, English, French, Russian and Spanish and is available online, in pdf format and on a CD.

  • If you are an IST member, the course is mandatory and part of the IST Experience.
  • If you are a Unit Leader or Contingent Management Team, we recommend you to take the course as it is one of your tools when preparing the Contingent for the Jamboree. Everyone at the Jamboree should feel safe and secure.
  • The course is mandatory for members of the Planning Team. It is important that you take these questions into consideration while making preparations

Our vision is to have a Jamboree free from abuse or harassment of or between young people and adults.
