Safeguarding Youth Test (Not a Survey)

[InquisitiveScouter]

Just got this "survey" request through email.

But, it is not a survey... it is a test of your knowledge and application of Safeguarding Youth policies and procedures.

Incorrect to call it a survey... a survey asks for your opinion or perspective on things.

This was just a 22-question outright multiple choice exam.

Ignorant? Manipulative? Misleading? Deceptive?

I'll apply Hanlon's Razor and move on...

I'm going with an attempt at quality control. I wonder how many people bombed the survey and had their SYT revoked?

Interesting. Haven't seen it in my inbox yet.
