CHILD PROTECTION POLICY: SECTION 1  - INTRODCUTION
 

Text Box: MINIS AND JUNIORS SECTION

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION

 

1.1   It is the responsibility of every adult working in rugby union, whether as a professional or a volunteer, to ensure that all young people can enjoy the sport in a safe enjoyable environment.

1.2   Guisborough RUFC, along with the RFU/RFUW, recognises its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all young people involved in the game by protecting them from physical, emotional or sexual harm and from neglect or bullying of any kind.

1.3   The RFU/RFUW, is resolute in meeting its obligation to ensure that all clubs and Constituent Bodies and schools providing playing opportunities for young people do so to the highest possible standards of care. The policy and procedures apply to all those who are subject to the jurisdiction of the RFU/RFUW whether in a paid or voluntary capacity.

1.4   The members of the RFU/ RFUW recognise that they have a responsibility:

1.4.1   To safeguard and promote the interests and well-being of young people with whom they are working.

1.4.2   To ensure that all adults who work with young people are aware of their role and responsibilities and that training opportunities are made available to them.

1.4.3   To take all reasonable practical steps to protect young people from harm, discrimination or degrading treatment.

1.4.4   To respect young peoples’ rights, reasonable wishes and feelings.

1.4.5   To take all reasonable steps to ensure that individuals involved in the game are aware of situations which may compromise their responsibility or position

1.5 Procedures laid down in this policy will:

1.5.1       Offer safeguards to the young people with whom we work, and to our professional members of staff and volunteer coaches and club members.

Help to maintain the professionalism and the safeguards of good practice which are associated with the RFU/RFUW.  It is recognised that any procedure is only as effective as the ability and skill of those who operate it. The RFU/RFUW are therefore committed to the effective recruitment, and appropriate training for all our professional staff, coaches, volunteers & club members. This will enable them to work together with parents/carers & other organisations to ensure that the needs and the welfare of young people remain paramount.
