Safeguarding

As a parent, coach, spectator or club official, everyone shares the responsibility for safeguarding and creating safe environments in rugby.

All should operate within an accepted ethical framework and demonstrate exemplary behaviour to both safeguard children and protect all personnel from allegations of abuse or poor practice.

Children, which is anyone under the age of 18, must be cared for in the correct manner, as set out in the RFU Safeguarding Policy.
