New Safe Space Pocket Guide

The latest version of the Pocket Guide received with this year's membership card has an extra panel added, making it slightly larger than the last one. The new panel includes the wording of the Volunteer Code of Conduct on one side, with the line I love:

"Follow Girlguiding policies and procedures and re-read them from time to time as they may be amended."

The other side of the extra panel talks about the Volunteer Responsibilities under the 2018 Working together to safeguard children guidance e.g follow through within 24 hours if it is an emergency or an immediate risk of significant harm.

There are smaller, pocket size versions of the guide available from the safeguarding team that can be carried easily.
