Welcome to

The OpsZone

This is a place for YOU, our Scotty Members and Springboarders. Have a good look round and hit the Get In Touch button to let us know what you think.

OpsZone Briefing

We want to make sure you are safe whilst online and using the Scotty’s OpsZone. Our website is only for Scotty’s Members and Springboarders. So, it is important we explain a few rules to help make sure everyone feels comfortable using the site. 

  1. Be respectful to everyone using the OpsZone. Treat others how you would like to be treated.

  2. Please do not give out the website address or any links to anyone who is not connected to Scotty’s.

  3. You will not be asked to share your personal information such as your address, telephone number, parents’ details, as we already have a lot of that information on our files. The Scotty’s Team will keep any information we receive from you secure. You can find out more if you look at our Privacy Statement

  4. Please tell a trusted adult right away if you come across something on the OpsZone that makes you feel uncomfortable.

  5. Please tell an adult if you are intending to send pictures/videos of yourself or others online. If you are unsure whether you should send them, then check with someone before you do. Please do not send any pictures that your parent/carer or the Scotty’s adults may consider inappropriate.

  6. Please do not share any Members or Springboarders stories with anyone outside the Scotty community. We ask that you keep other people’s information private so everyone will feel comfortable to share with each other.

  7. It is okay to share the OpsZone content with your parent/carer if you wish to but remember the site is for children and young people.

  8. And don’t forget, never agree to get together with someone you “meet” online without first checking with a parent/carer. If they agree to the meeting, then make sure that it is in a public place and take an adult along.
