Information for Leaders

To give positive guidance, the 'Young People First' code of practice (also known as the yellow card) sets out a code of behaviour for all adults in Scouting.

Every adult should have a copy of the 'Young People First' code of practice. It is designed so you can keep it with you at all times during Scouting activities.

Check that:

• You have your own copy.

• All other adults involved in working with young people have a copy.

• You have a copy displayed in your HQ or meeting place (large copies are available from Scout Shops).

• Parents/Carers are made aware of the yellow card and our child protection policy.
