Chair of the Wales Child Protection Team

The Wales Child Protection Team is in need of someone to plan and chair its meetings.

Our child protection co-ordinators perform a valuable role supporting adults in this critical area of our activities and as a team they work to make sure that child protection training and support is properly implemented across Wales.

Child protection is an area that is about to see some changes; the team will be instrumental in their introduction. Having someone to give the team focus is important.

If you are interested in this key role within adult support then in the first instance please contact Ron Davies, Assistant Chief Commissioner (Adult Support) on adultsupport@scoutswales.org.uk or call 01443 202142.
