Girl Guide leaders in the Island are undergoing specialist training in safeguarding this weekend to earn a new qualification.
Eva Bines, a specialist trainer from the UK Guilding movement's north-west region, is giving a full weekend of half-day courses.
The training module is being held at the Hospice and will cover child protection, internet safety and Guiding policy.
Ms Bines says Girl Guide leader training is nothing new:
Reopening of Martin Ward delayed following further safety checks
