Facilities and Risk Forum – Monthly Online Session

Facilities and Risk Forum – Monthly Online Session

The Facilities and Risk Forum is a regular online session hosted by the Facilities and Risk Team, open to all members and volunteers. These forums provide an opportunity to hear updates, discuss common issues, and ask questions relating to facilities, property, safety, risk management, and compliance across Scouting.

The forum is typically held on the third Thursday of each month, between February and November, and is conducted online to make it accessible to everyone, regardless of location. Sessions are informal, practical, and designed to support Formation Leaders, Group Support Committees, and volunteers in managing their sites safely and effectively.

In addition to set topics, time is allocated for general questions and discussion.
These forums are open to all members,
