|risks|facing|the|charity|||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|||||Risk: General
risks involved
in the pursuit
of||
|||||scouting activities||
|||||Mitigation: Scouting pursuits
naturally
involve||
|||||exposing
adults and young people to risks; that is||
|||||the nature ofan activity-based
ethos. Whilst it is||
|||||impossible
to counter every possible
risk, itis||
|||||possible to ensure that volunteers
are adequately||
|||||trained fortheir roles and are capable ofidentifying||
|||||and managing
risk in a sensible fashion. All new||
|||||volunteers
must subscribe to Disclosure and Barring||
|||||Service checks and third party references
are taken.||
|||||The Ashdown
District maintains
a training
manager||
|||||and all Leaders
follow a programme
ofmodular||
|||||training
which includes risk identification,
first aid||
|||||and the safeguarding
ofchildren.
Events are subject||
|||||to their own risk assessments.
Codes ofBehaviour||
|||||are used to educate and inform Leaders. Checks and||
|||||core safety training
are subject to renewal at regular||
|||||Intervals.||
|||||Risk: Injury to leaders, supporters
and members||
|||||Mitigation:
In conjunction
with the mitigation||
|||||applied to the general risks above, an annual census||
|||||ofthe Group is submitted
to the Ashdown
District.||
|||||This establishes
a capitation fee, which is paid to the||
|||||Scout Association. The capitation
fee contributes
to||
|||||the Scout Association's
national accident
insurance||
|||||policy, which provides necessary insurance
to||
|||||mitigate personal
injury risk to Leaders, supporters||
|||||and members.||
|||||Risk: Damage tothe Scout hut building and or||
|||||equipment.||
|||||Mitigation:
In the event that Group premises
and/or||
|||||property
become
unusable
the Group
would||
|||||request the use ofbuildings,
property
and||
|||||equipment
from neighbouring
organisations
such|as|
|||||other Scout Groups. The Group has buildings
and||
|||||contents insurance
in place to partially mitigate||
|||||against permanent
loss and the Quartermaster||
|||||conducts
an annual audit ofthe Group assets. The||
|||||Group insurance
is placed through
the Scout||
|||||Association
insurance
broker. The level ofcover||
|||||reflects as far as possible (within the capacity for||
|||||meeting
the insurance
premium)
the replacement||
|||||cost ofthe refurbished
building
and its contents|in|
|||||the event oftotal loss.||
|||||Risk: Reduced income from fund
raising||
|||||Mitigation: The Group is primarily
reliant
upon||
|income from subscriptions
and fundraising.
The|||
|---|---|---|
|Group does hold areserve to ensure the continuity||of|
|activities should there be a major reduction
in|||
|income. The Committee
could raise subscriptions|to||
|increase income on an on-going basis either|||
|temporarily
or permanently.|||
|Risk: Reduction or loss ofLeaders Mitigation: The|||
|Group is totally reliant
upon volunteers
to run and|||
|administer
the activities
ofthe Group. Ifthere was||a|
|reduction
in the number ofleaders to an|||
|unacceptable
level in a particular
section or the|||
|Group as awhole there would have to be a closure||of|
|a section or in the worst case scenario the complete|||
|closure ofthe Group.
Historically
the Ashdown|||
|District in the Scouting organisation
has provided|||
|excellent support to the Group
during periods
when|||
|local leaders have been unavailable.
The Group|||
|would request assistance from Ashdown
District|in||
|the event ofany future difficulties.
However, the|||
|section leaders have extensive
experience of|||
|coordinating
Group
activities
and do an excellent|||
|job maintaining
an appropriate
programme
of|||
|activities.|||
|Risk: Financial irregularities|||
|Mitigation:
Group finances are controlled
by the|||
|Group Treasurer, who monitors
and controls income|||
|and expenditure,
which is largely conducted through|||
|the section leaders. The Group Treasurer maintains|||
|written accounts and produces regular financial|||
|updates to the Executive Committee.
With regard||to|
|disbursements,
all bank transfers require three|||
|authorised
signatures.
The Group produces annual|||
|accounts which are subject to independent|||
|inspection
and which are submitted
to the Scout|||
|District.|||
|All funds are held in cash using only mainstream|||
|banks or building societies.|||
|The land on which the Group hut is situated
belongs|||
|to a community
trust, the lonides Trust. The|||
|Trustees have already leased asignificant
area ofthe|||
|land in their care to ahealth centre. The objects of|||
|the trust also permit the appropriation
ofpart of|||
|The land to build avillage hall, the Group is in the|||
|final|||
|stages ofentering into a replacement
lease to reflect|||
|the new BCHT area extending to aterm of125years.|||
