SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN IN CLUB RUGBY 

CHILD PROTECTION POLICY

 

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Rugby brings fun and enjoyment to thousands of young people each year.  Moffat RFC is justifiably proud of the core values that it imparts - teamwork, diversity, fairness, discipline, respect, personal courage, fun and enjoyment.

 

The coaches and supporters at Moffat RFC are volunteers who work hard to deliver programmes of rugby activity in a conducive, family-friendly environment for boys and girls at various age groups and performance levels. Moffat RFC is committed to providing a safe and positive, quality experience to the young people involved and to support the volunteers who make this possible. All of our volunteers are aware of the Club’s Child Protection Policy and codes of conduct. 

 

Moffat RFC also take steps to make our junior members and their parents or guardians aware of the Club’s Child Protection Policy and codes of conduct and that we take their welfare seriously.
