Out of Hours Phone Service for Child Protection issues

Scouting Ireland is always trying to develop and evolve the systems that we offer to support all adults in Scouting.

With this in mind, we’re now happy to launch an Out of Hours Child Protection phone service for all registered adults in Scouting. 

Outside normal Office hours for any child protection needs please call

For the Republic 01 5547480
For Northern Ireland 028 95680080

Your call will be charged as if to a normal Dublin or Belfast landline.

When you dial during evenings or weekends, your call will automatically be diverted to an on duty "Designated Person". These DP’s are all adult members of Scouting Ireland, who have undertaken Designated Person training both internally with Scouting Ireland, and externally from the National Youth Council of Ireland.

Please remember that you still have the existing options open to you:

Child Protection Officer at National Office 01 4956300 (office hours)

 

Your Local Garda / Police Station (If you believe a child is currently in immediate danger).

 

This new service is an additional resource if you have child protection concerns outside office hours & would like someone to talk to.
