New RFU Safeguarding Policy & Guidance
The RFU has long been at the forefront in ensuring that the rugby environment is a safe one for the young and the vulnerable. The Union’s new and updated Safeguarding Policy and guidance document is now available for all levels of rugby union in England. Safeguarding Young People and Vulnerable Adults within Rugby Union Policy & Guidance, replaces the previous “Welfare of Young People in Rugby Union Guidance” document with immediate effect.
Please ensure that any future safeguarding related processes are carried out in accordance with this new document.
