Safeguarding Children

Keeping Children Safe

Everyone shares the responsibility for safeguarding and creating safe environments in rugby union whether as a parent, coach, spectator or club official.

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.

Chard Rugby Club takes its safeguarding responsibilities seriously and we will carry out checks on all adults who have a role working with children at the club.
