Girl Guides of Canada is proud to offer a safe and supportive environment where girls feel accepted, valued, and respected. We have a mandate to protect all our members, volunteers, and employees from any form of abuse. Our organization has in place a clear policy and procedures dealing with two main areas of girl protection:
- Dealing with suspicion that a girl member is in need of protection
- Helping adult members protect themselves from allegations of abuse
Information on these topics is available on Member Zone (login required), under Admin → Member Procedures.
Any member or volunteer is encouraged to contact our Girl Protection Lead, Elizabeth Buffett, at ns-girlprotection@girlguides.ca with any questions or concerns about abuse or self-harm.
