To make sure that we deliver Scouting in a safe environment for all our members, all Adults in Scouting are required to complete three On-Demand Learning modules within three months of joining or turning 18 in order to remain a member. This includes all Rover Scouts and 18 year old Venturers.
These three modules must be re-completed every two years.
The three modules are "Adult Code of Conduct", "Child Safe Scouting", and "WHS for Scouting" and can be found under 'Mandatory Training' in the Scouts Australia Learning Platform.
Adult Code of Conduct
The Scouts Australia Code of Conduct is intended to protect all members of Scouting. It applies to all members aged 18 years and over, regardless of location and role, when engaging with both young people and adults in any form of Scouting.
Child Safe Scouting
In this module you will learn about Child Safe Scouting and:
- Know how our values and attitudes can impact on acknowledging child abuse and/or neglect
- Understand how child abuse is often discounted
- Appreciate your role as a trusted, non-threatening adult
- Be aware of the importance of maintaining a child focus
- Understand your responsibility to report, including suspicion of abuse
WHS for Scouting
Although the WHS legislation is all encompassing, it was mostly written with only commercial workplaces in mind. Working with Safework Australia, Scouts has developed a clear framework that interprets the law in the context of Scouting. This module explains WHS in the context for Scouting.
