Our Leaders
The Boys' Brigade enjoys an
excellent reputation for providing a
safe environment for its children and
young people to enjoy activities. All
our adult leaders follow clear safety
guidelines and undertake training
appropriate to their role.
The BB's 'Code of Conduct' is a
pocket sized card that all leaders
working in The Boys' Brigade have a copy
of. It contains information about how to
report concerns or allegations of abuse
and a code of behaviour for all adults
working in The Boys' Brigade.
We also encouarge our volunteer
leaders to undertake further training
throughout their time in the BB to
enhance their skills and understanding
of childrens and youth work.
All of our leaders go through a
proceedure of registration and as part
of this will complete a Criminal Record
Disclosure Check.
