We do not accept any form of bullying, discrimination, harassment, mistreatment, or violence. If such behaviour occurs, we will address it immediately. Our goal is that everyone, regardless of their background, feels safe in scouting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The The Guides and Scouts of Finland has developed the <a href=\"https:\/\/scouts.fi\/join\/scouting-is-a-great-hobby-for-adults\/safely-together-training\/\">Safely Together guidelines<\/a>, which aim to prepare volunteers to handle issues related to these topics and to commit to practices that promote safety and wellbeing. All leaders in Tavastin Liljat complete the Safely Together training regularly. We have also created our own equality and inclusion plan, with the aim of promoting practices that help as many people as possible feel welcome in Tavastin Liljat. You can request a copy of the plan by contacting the safeguarding contact person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Safeguarding contact person <\/strong>(&#8220;turva-aikuinen&#8221;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Scouts, a safeguarding contact person is an adult (18+) whose role includes ensuring that all leaders complete the Safely Together training, advising members on matters related to safety and wellbeing, assisting in conflict situations when needed, and acting in matters related to child protection. The safeguarding contact person is also responsible for checking the criminal background records of leaders who work one-on-one with minors, as required by the Safely Together guidelines. If you or your child experience bullying, harassment, mistreatment, or other inappropriate behaviour in the Scouts, you can contact the safeguarding contact person. In such situations, you can also always contact your child&#8217;s group leader or the Local Group Leader (Mette H\u00e4meenaho).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our safeguarding contact person is Oskari Virtanen (oskari.virtanen2@gmail.com<br>\/ +358 44 5141298).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Data protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members\u2019 personal data is handled confidentially and is only accessible to those whose role requires it (such as the membership secretary, group leader, or camp leader). You can read more about data protection practices on the Scouts&#8217; website under   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partio.fi\/suomen-partiolaiset\/tietoa-meista\/henkilotietojen-kasittely\/\">Henkil\u00f6tietojen k\u00e4sittely<\/a> (in Finnish).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accidents and safety<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scouting activities may include elements with an increased risk of accidents, such as woodworking or outdoor activities. In Tavastin Liljat, we prevent accidents in several ways: Children always use potentially dangerous tools (such as knives or axes) under supervision. When learning new skills, correct and safe use of tools is essential. First aid is a key scouting skill that is taught from the youngest age groups onward, and our leaders are also trained in basic first aid. First aid supplies are always available at meetings and on trips. In outdoor settings (such as hikes), we ensure adequate food and water supplies and take weather conditions into account. Fire safety with campfires or camp stoves is carefully managed. For camps, we collect information about participants\u2019 allergies, special diets, and any important medications (this information is not stored after the trip for data protection reasons). Camp leaders are responsible for being aware of potential risks, emergency procedures, evacuation routes, and other safety-related matters. If you have any questions or concerns about safety, feel free to ask \u2013 we are happy to provide more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scout insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All members who have paid the membership fee to the The Guides and Scouts of Finland are covered by liability, accident, and travel insurance through L\u00e4hiTapiola during scouting activities. The Scout insurance is a secondary insurance, meaning that compensation is primarily claimed from any personal insurance first. You can find more information about Scout insurance on the <a href=\"https:\/\/scouts.fi\/contact-information\/scout-insurance\/\">Scouts&#8217; website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"figure cross\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"107\" height=\"47.043\" viewBox=\"0 0 107 47.043\">\n\t\t    <g>\n\t\t        <path d=\"M29.916 6.541L23.349 0l-8.39 8.417L6.541 0 0 6.541l8.39 8.417L0 23.375l6.541 6.541 8.417-8.39 8.39 8.39 6.568-6.541-8.416-8.417z\" transform=\"rotate(-90 23.522 23.521) translate(17.127)\"\/>\n\t\t        <path d=\"M15.253 11.446A24.159 24.159 0 0 1 9.034 0L0 2.064a33.488 33.488 0 0 0 8.632 15.87l.08.08s.617.617 1.474 1.662l7.238-5.79c-1.099-1.341-1.93-2.198-2.171-2.44z\" transform=\"rotate(-90 23.522 23.521) translate(.429 60.519)\"\/>\n\t\t        <path d=\"M16.218 6.648L9.758 0A33.429 33.429 0 0 0 0 18.738l9.141 1.474a23.953 23.953 0 0 1 7.077-13.564z\" transform=\"rotate(-90 23.522 23.521) translate(0 30.828)\"\/>\n\t\t        <path d=\"M.161 3.163A21.712 21.712 0 0 1 1.5 10.481 19.441 19.441 0 0 1 0 17.907l8.578 3.538a28.792 28.792 0 0 0 2.2-10.964A30.739 30.739 0 0 0 8.873 0z\" transform=\"rotate(-90 23.522 23.521) translate(15.285 85.555)\"\/>\n\t\t    <\/g>\n\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":445,"featured_media":0,"parent":314,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-332","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
