5.4 WAGGGS Global Team Engagement in Member Organisation Activities
If a WAGGGS Global Team member attends an activity led by the Member Organisation and they do not have any responsibility for co-organising or delivering the activity, for example a World Board member is asked to deliver a welcome speech at an MO youth conference, the Member Organisation is responsible for implementing safeguarding measures.
Where a WAGGGS Global Team member formally co-organises and co-delivers an activity jointly with a Member Organisation, this policy applies in full and the WAGGGS Global Team member is responsible for briefing the MO and ensuring the safeguarding measures as set out in this policy are followed for this activity.
Regardless of who coordinates and delivers the activity, WAGGGS Global Team members must always comply with this policy and our Code of Conduct.
This Standard is being met when…
- Both WAGGGS and MOs are clear on safeguarding expectations and reporting lines when working with children and young people
- All contracted MOs have an up-to-date safeguarding policy in place and are taking steps to strengthen their safeguarding practice
- ALL MOs are aware of and engaged with WAGGGS safeguarding policy where appropriate
- The WAGGGS Capacity Assessment Tool (CAT) identifies and addresses MO safeguarding support needs and WAGGGS offers support where needed
- Appropriate policies, checks and training ensure that all people delivering WAGGGS programmes with MOs are suitable and supported in their safeguarding duties
