During the event, you’ll see the A&I Team working in several key areas: they’ll be supporting the Sensory Friendly “Safe Zones” provided in hubs near Listening Ear (LE) stations. The A&I Lead Team will be working with the Safe from Harm Operations Unit to investigate and resolve issues that arise. They will serve as a common ground to bring together the right Jamboree department and/or Contingent to find a resolution, and the Jamboree will provide accessible channels for reporting and resolving any access and inclusion issues that arise.

It Takes All of Us!

The success of this entire initiative is a shared responsibility, with specific duties for everyone involved. The Heads of Contingent

have a vital role to play. It starts with the engagement of Contingent Management Teams to plan support for their contingent members. To guarantee that a participant or adult gets the support or Reasonable Adjustments they need, the HoC must provide the Jamboree Planning Team with all necessary particulars of their member's needs during the registration process. This timely communication is essential for us to plan and guarantee that the right support is ready and waiting!

How can you help as the Head of Contingent?

• While registering your Contingent members, make sure to collect and provide to the Jamboree Planning Team all necessary data related to accessibility and inclusion needs. In the absence of this information, or its late arrival, we cannot guarantee to provide support or reasonable adjustments.
• Plan to support these individuals at the Jamboree to give them the best possible experience. This may include allowing additional carer/helper support, special equipment, and your knowledge of the individuals’ support needs and how to meet them.
  Be mindful that while bringing a carer/helper for a participant, the number of people allowed in the patrol (10 people in total) do does not change.
• Note that ensuring that your Contingent member with additional accessibility or inclusion needs attends the Jamboree with necessary equipment or additional carer lies within your responsibility. Make sure with participant or adult, that they inform you what kind of equipment they need.
• Assign within your CMT members one person who will be a contact point for Access and Inclusion related communication with Subcamp Management and/or A&I Lead Team
